Erwin Schrödinger (Vienna, 1887-1961) was the creator of wave mechanics and one of the scientists who most contributed to the development of atomic physics during the first half of the 20th century. Other fields in which he made significant contributions include thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the theory of relativity. In 1933, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Paul Dirac. Erwin Schrödinger is the author of a perennial classic: What is Life?, and other fundamental texts, such as Mind and Matter and Nature and the Greeks, all published in the Metatemas collection.
