Schrodinger and His Equation - David Clary / Serious Science

Chemist David Clary on Schrodinger’s life, the significance of his equation and how his discoveries started a revolution in molecular biology
"What Schrödinger did is he came up with a general equation that worked for the hydrogen atom and worked for predicting not just the energy levels of the hydrogen atom but also the intensities of the spectral lines: whether the lines in the spectrum are intense or not, he could predict that intensity."
David Clary, Professor of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, University of Oxford

Wow! Wow! I’ll bet he tells that story to every visitor. Thank you for telling it to us.

[@zccau2316]

He forgot to mention he was a nonce and predator too

[@joaquin2989]

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Schrodinger - a very very underrated scientist

[@AbdullahPunctureWale-BePgCxx]

So is everyone.. except Einstein the leech.. over rated. Beyond tolerance... almost puke levels.

@@AbdullahPunctureWale-BePgCxx OK, let me give you some attention, then. ;-)

His speech is like a poem. ❤

[@sonicman2631]

this is so cool to know

[@zosimus_99]

Thanks to all.

[@ashishsaranjhna861]

It would be better if he told about those equations

[@richard8176]

I anticipated a more technical discussion.

[@frankdoherty8999]

If the two Schrödinger equations exist simultaneously does this imply one exists while one does not ? ? given time

[@anonymouslyanonymous2219]

First 😄

[@Mostafa-jf4nr]

Am very skeptical about the Schrödinger equation

[@berkealtparmak1699]

shit works tho

[@schmetterling4477]

@@berkealtparmak1699 Not really. It does not even obey the conservation laws.

TURNS OUT HE WAS A NONCE LMAOO

[@mattnewhouse1781]

You mean he did more than kill a cat in a box????!! No f'ing way......making fun of pop culture, thank you for this though :)

Only in his imagination :)
