- NOTE: It explores Erwin Schrödinger's contributions to quantum mechanics and his famous thought experiment involving a cat, highlighting the intellectual conflict between Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg over the interpretation of quantum reality. Schrödinger's story is used to exemplify the thin line between genius and madness, and the ethical dilemmas arising from scientific breakthroughs.

- Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger (12 August 1887 – 4 January 1961), a Nobel Prize-winning Austrian physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in the field of quantum theory, which formed the basis of wave mechanics: he formulated the wave equation (stationary and time-dependent Schrödinger equation) and revealed the identity of his development of the formalism and matrix mechanics. Schrödinger proposed an original interpretation of the physical meaning of the wave function and in subsequent years repeatedly criticized the conventional Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics (using e.g. the paradox of Schrödinger's cat).
In addition, he was the author of many works in various fields of physics: statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, physics of dielectrics, color theory, electrodynamics, general relativity, and cosmology, and he made several attempts to construct a unified field theory. In his book What Is Life? Schrödinger addressed the problems of genetics, looking at the phenomenon of life from the point of view of physics. He paid great attention to the philosophical aspects of science, ancient and oriental philosophical concepts, ethics, and religion. He also wrote on philosophy and theoretical biology.
