Monday’s Google doodle celebrates the birthday of physicist Erwin Schrödinger and his work in quantum mechanics.
Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1933 at the age of forty-six for his work in theoretical physics and what is now known as the Schrödinger equation.
The brightly colored doodle features two cartoon cats, one alive, one dead – the famous cat paradox. Schrödinger formed the paradox to explain the status of waves and subatomic particles.
“In any physical system, without observation, you cannot say what something is doing. You have to say it can be any of these things it can be doing – even if the probability is small,” explained professor Eric Martell, who teaches physics and astronomy at Millikin University, to National Geographic.
Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) of The Big Bang Theory explains Schrödinger's paradox:
