Erwin Schrodinger ** http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1933/schrodinger-bio.html Date of Death- January 4, 1961 Place of Origin- Vienna, Austria Year of Discovery- 1926** It was clear that Erwin Schrodinger inherited his intelligence from his father, who himself was a very educated man with background in both Italian painting and chemistry. Erwin had not only the same appreciation for science, but also have the same admiration for the arts, as he loved the style of ancient German poetry. He continued his education all the way up to the University of Vienna where he met his mentor Fritz Hasenöhr who taught him and led him down the path toward great future achievements. After he left, Schrodinger did several years of position bouncing until he found a comfortable place in the University of Zurich. This was his place, where he could focus and stay in the zone, and it was where he kept himself busy with several projects for 6 years. But not only that, it was in the University of Zurich where Schrodinger made his greatest discovery, Schrödinger's wave equation.
 * Date of Birth-** **August 12, 1887

What scientists discovered that even though certain parts of the atom, like the electron, were considered solid particles, they for some reason displayed wavelike features. Although it was bizarre, it presented a very unique opportunity. If someone where to find a patter and form an equation, they could discover moles of new information about atoms. Schrodinger was the first man to take advantage of this and created Schrödinger's wave equation. It is simply an equation that shows entire wave properties of matter. http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae329.cfm?CFID=22181506&CFTOKEN=e0bd5712c239f1fa-B7D13CEA-15C5-EE01-B9F8E03002163713
