He was known for his famous experiment, Schrödinger's Cat, and worked on quantum superposition and wave mechanics. He lived from 1887-1961

Rudolf Schrödinger, Erwins father, was a botanist and painter. He came from a Bavarian family that had settled in Vienna after many years. He worked at the Austrian Ministry of Finance but wrote many papers about the study of algae.

Georgine Emilia Brenda Bauer, Erwins mom, was half Australian and half English. Her father was a chemistry professor and education was highly valued in their family.

This is where Erwin went to college. He was an excellent student.

This is where Erwin did a lot of his work. He worked at many colleges before this and eventually settled here.

He was known to be a highly intelligent person. He was always asking questions, trying to learn more about the world around him. He tried to learn a lot from books and the things around him.

Quantum mechanics is talking about matter and energy at an atomic and subatomic level. Erwin Schrödinger's research on wave mechanics. This helped other scientists work on finding new versions of quantum mechanics.

If you were to explain this topic to a young person, you could say that quantum mechanics talks about the little things that make up our world.

Theoretical biology talks about math within biology. It is using knowledge of physics and math to help understand biological phenomena. Some key components of theoretical biology are Negentropy, Code-Script, and Molecular biology.

When explaining this to a young person you could say: Theoretical biology is using math and physics to understand how living things work.

One of his most famous pieces of work was a book he wrote, titled, "What is Life?" This book is more about theoretical biology and focuses on the fundamental principles underlying life.

Erwin's concept of negentropy was very interesting. It explored the idea that living systems are able to maintain their internal order and organization by exporting entropy to their surroundings. This changed how theoretical biology was looked at by everyone.
