Happy birthday Schrödinger

However, that does not make the cat jokes any less hilarious.

Erwin Schrödinger was born on August 12, 1887 in Vienna, Austria. In 1933, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for developing the Schrödinger Equation. This equation is used in quantum mechanics to explain quantum changes in the physical state of a system over time.
