Schrödinger’s Cat in Dublin
“The Austrian Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel laureate in Physics & famous
for his theory about the feline in the box, spent his happiest years in Dublin.
God must be glad to see them play
Like kittens in the sun
Delighted with the wisps of hay
Blown from His haggard on a breezy day . . .
Time’s kittens, have your fun.
THIS SHORT POEM by Patrick Kavanagh is titled For Dr Schrödinger and Other Eminent Physicists, and it picks up on the well-worn trope of Schrödinger’s cat. Indeed, that feline familiar has featured in the titles of two previous books by John Gribbin, namely In Search of Schrödinger’s Cat and Schrödinger’s Kittens and the Search for Reality, first published in 1984 and 1995, respectively.” >Review of Gribbin’s recent Schrödinger biography (c) THE IRISH TIMES, 2012
