Kicking Erwin Schrödinger out of my idols. Not because he chose a cat for his thought experiment, but because of one thing I learnt: he sexually abused children and kept a diary about it. 🤮 Src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger#Sexual_abuse

Erwin Schrödinger - Wikipedia

@davidrevoy eh, thanks for ruining my otherwise perfect Sunday 😕

Geez, this passage from Wikipedia is disgusting:

he stated a "predilection for teenage girls on the grounds that their innocence was the ideal match for his natural genius"

@lutzray Yes, disguting. I learnt it yesterday and then I couldn't believe most of the biography I read or portrait on video put that big part of his life to silence. Even the French Wikipedia page doesn't mention it ...

Btw, sorry for the bad 'sunday timing'. I couldn't hold this info I learnt yesterday evening, I had to make a a drawing about it to reflect about it. Schrödinger cat box is so pop culture. I saw it on so many meme...

@davidrevoy it's just one more name on the list of famous physicists who didn't know what to do with their dick...

Does celebrity induce sexual predatory behaviours? And is it specifically 'male'? (I doubt it).

Sadly, I won't ever know the answer 😏 I'm too old to become famous.

GENIUS ALBERT EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF INFIDELITY

By Patrick J.Kiger For The Physicist, Monogamy Was A "Bitter Fruit" As he detailed in his letters, Einstein over the years developed a complicated view of male-female relationships. In a June 1953 letter, Albert Einstein tried to console a female frien

@lutzray @davidrevoy And even so, could have been even worse.
Could have been (shudder) Schrodinger
Yeez

@lutzray
I would not consider sexual relationships between consenting adults (as in Einstein's case) predatory.

If another partner assumes exclusivity of the sexual relationship, this is still morally questionable, but not "sexual predatory behaviour".
