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
@davidrevoy Oof, this makes being named after him a rather grim topic from now on :c
[Edited because I got too many replies]
@eest9 Oh no, I'm sorry for you. 😔
I don't think that information was publicly available until quite recently. I watch a lot of science videos and I've never heard of this.
A friend recently told me something about this kind of thing: when a band, a personality, a character has this thing, it's a new death for them. You were named when the clean and brilliant reputation was still alive and only info available. I hope you'll be able to keep the positive aspect of this name.
@davidrevoy I hope so. I'll probably tell the origin story of my name far less in the future and exclusively with a note in regard to this.
Yes, it looks like the oldest mention is a biography from 1990, and it wasn't widely recognized until 2021, when more information about it came public?
@eest9 @davidrevoy Well, you can always go with Rommel.
