Schrödinger's Qu'ran - a 2012 thought experiment - in The Conversation, Matthew Bailes updates a classic paradox...
"...a physicist could extend this thought experiment to write a php script that would randomly download one of the Bible, Qur’an or even a classical quantum mechanics textbook to the iPad..."

#7 - Erwin Schrodinger
Schroedinger, Erwin! Professor of physics! Wrote daring equations! Confounded his critics!
That's the first couple of lines of Cecil Adams' brilliant epic poem about Schrodinger's cat. Why does Schrodinger deserve an epic poem? Because he's the 7th greatest physicist, that…
Erwin Schrödinger is one of the more colorful figures in physics history. He's best known for Emmy's favorite thought experiment, of course, which attempts to demonstrate the absurdity of quantum physics through locking a cat in a box. This overshadows the Schrödinger Equation, the central equation…
Newton's birthday (in the Julian calendar) is Sunday, so we're in the final days of the advent calendar. Which means it's time for the equations that are least like anything Newton did, such as today's:
This is the Schrödinger equation from non-relativistic quantum mechanics. If you want to…
