Schrödinger Schr dinger about<br />

Heisenberg’s Heisenberg s matrix<br />

mechanics (1926)<br />

"My theory was inspired by<br />

L. de Broglie and by brief but<br />

infinitely far-seeing remarks<br />

of A. Einstein [Berl. Ber. 1925,<br />

p.9ff]. I was absolutely unaware<br />

of any genetic relationship with<br />

Heisenberg. I naturally knew<br />

about his theory, but because of<br />

the to me very difficult-appearing<br />

methods of transcendental<br />

algebra and because of the lack<br />

of visualibility (Anschaulichkeit),<br />

I felt deterred by it, if not to say<br />

repelled."<br />

Heisenberg about<br />

Schrödinger<br />

Schr dinger’s s wave<br />

mechanics (1926)<br />

"The more I think of the physical<br />

part of the Schrödinger theory,<br />

the more abominable I find it.<br />

What Schrödinger writes about<br />

Anschaulichkeit makes scarcely<br />

any sense, in other words<br />

I think it is bullshit (Mist)."
