Erwin Schrödinger was a very good man, though he was not the only one, and he got ideas from others like bohr . with the wave fiction for election quantum levels, it is indeed a feat.
He was once my favorite scientist, really enjoyed his method of thinking.
A field is often moving from a synergy between many individuals. One can have a great idea, but it is always based on knowledge developed by others. This is one of the greatness of science. Collaborations without any border of any kind :)
Valid point. It always boils down to what is achieve-able and how many possibly can it cover. From perspective, he is outstanding.
