…I'm totally content but it's certainly a startling intellectual achievement. By putting together a few facts from neurology and the Schrodinger wave equation from quantum physics walker did derive an equation to show the extent to which the human mind can…
…worlds and yet in another sense it's the most parsimonious. It sticks most closely to the actual equations. It accepts the Schrodinger wave equations at Face value whereas every other model has to create the philosophical assumptions to get away from what…
…which can occur millions of times every second. Yeah well the the classic case is the Schrodinger's Cat gedanken experiment which Schrodinger brought up just to show there was a problem. He didn't think anybody would ever take it literally, but it does…
…when you open the door and look and then whole system collapses into either a dead cat or a live cat. Schrodinger thought that showed there was something seriously wrong with our understanding of quantum mechanics but the multiple world interpretation is it…
…called the complete quantum anthropologist, he explains consciousness as a non local function of the whole space time continuum. And Schrodinger, Practically the main inventor of quantum mechanics, had the same attitude: the sum total of all minds is one,…
…And Schrodinger, Practically the main inventor of quantum mechanics, had the same attitude: the sum total of all minds is one, Schrodinger said. Anyway when mike hercules put me at four hertz he attached another machine to my forehead and said: we're going…
…as a wave when I measured it with what I thought was this apparatus oh yeah and go into sort of an infinite regress. Schrodinger created what's called the Schrodinger's Cat problem, which goes as follows: you take a cat you put it in a box you put a…
…cat is and is not dead. Once you open the door the state vector collapses and the cat's either dead or alive. Schrodinger invented that because although he was one of the major creators of quantum mechanics, he was very uncomfortable with its philosophical…
…that we can't say so until we do open the door. And since physicists have been arguing about that since 1935 when Schrodinger first published it in Der Naturwissenschaft, volume drei und zwanzig, it thrills me when I found out what the number of the…
…that's why William Burroughs is a male in this universe and a female in that universe. Every possibility is equally real. Schrodinger invented this gedanken experiment or god damn it experiment, I think is the English Translation of that to bring to the…
…real space. After all, what's been happening in quantum theory is that, confronted with the fact that the mathematical equations of Schrodinger and Heisenberg and Dirac work and have continued to work and are still working every day and are the most useful…
…for those who aren't really that familiar with Schrodinger's Cat can you explain some of the background on it for them? Yes, Erwin Schrodinger, whose portrait I have at home he's on the Austrian Thousand shilling note and I was invited to give a talk on…
…Schrodinger, whose portrait I have at home he's on the Austrian Thousand shilling note and I was invited to give a talk on Schrodinger on Austrian Television on the 100th anniversary of his birth and they pay you for appearing on the media in Europe. I…
…for your ticket. I'll hold you to that, all right. They gave me a thousand shilling note for talking about Schrodinger and who's on the thousand shilling note but Schrodinger himself I've wandered from Schrodinger's Cat to synchronicity haven't I? Schrodinger…

…values but the minimum is two. You never get it down to one value. So if quantum states are in multiple values, Schrodinger considered the problem of a radioactive decay process which will explode a poison gas pellet and you put the poison gas pellet…
…so the poison gas pellet has exploded and has not exploded. Therefore the cat is dead and alive at the same time. And Schrodinger wanted to know: do we believe our equations or do we believe common sense? This has come up continually in the history of…
…physicists trying to persuade them. There must be something wrong with quantum physics if it leads to conclusions like that. Schrodinger thought there was something wrong with quantum physics too even though he won the Nobel prize for his contributions to…
