Erwin Schrodinger

Scheele is most often remembered as one of the discoverers of oxygen, along with Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier. Scheele s work on the gas he called fire-air was completed between 1770 and 1773. This predated the work of Lavoisier or Priestley. Scheele s Chemical Observations and Experiments on Air and Fire was not published until 1777, after the comparable findings of Lavoisier and Priestley had been reported. Like Priestley, Scheele retained use of the phlogiston theory in most of his chemical work. Unlike Priestley, Scheele died at a young age. He died at forty-three, at a time when Lavoisier was consolidating the chemical revolution, see also Chlorine.

Schrodinger s work in quantnm theory resulted in the creation of a new scientific discipline— wave mechanics, which has as its centerpiece the Schrodinger wave equation, explained in a series of four papers published in 1926. This equation and the later relativistic versions are considered by many scientists to have the same central importance to molecular quantum mechanics as Newton s laws of motion have to large-scale classical mechanics.

As a young scientist de Broglie had believed that the statistical nature of modern physics masks our ignorance of the underlying reality of the physical world, but for much of his life he also believed that this statistical nature is all that we can know. Toward the end of his life, however, de Broglie turned back toward the views of his youth, favoring causal relationships in place of the accepted probabilistic picture associated with quantum mechanics. see also Planck, Max Schrodinger, Erwin...
