I'm really enjoying the new podcast "Crash Course Pods: The Universe" by astrophysicists Katie Mack, aka @AstroKatie, and writer John Green, about, well, The Universe, from its beginnings to how it might end. Two episodes are already out, and I highly recommend them.

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

1. A digital drawing colored with digital watercolor. Carrot, my red tabby cat comic character is kicking the ass on the edge of a cliff to a cartoon representation of Erwin Schrödinger. This one holds a box with a laser, a hammer and a bottle of poison. The ingredient of his famous his "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment.

2. Erwin Schrödinger
  
  Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger (UK: , US: ; German: [ˈɛɐ̯vɪn ˈʃʁøːdɪŋɐ]; 12 August 1887 – 4 January 1961), sometimes written as Schroedinger or Schrodinger, was a Nobel Prize–winning Austrian and naturalized Irish physicist who developed fundamental results in quantum theory. In particular, he is recognized for postulating the Schrödinger equation, an equation that provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time. He coined the term "quantum entanglement", and was the earliest to discuss it, doing so in 1932.In addition, he wrote many works on various aspects of physics: statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, physics of dielectrics, colour theory, electrodynamics, general relativity, and cosmology, and he made several attempts to construct a unified field theory. In his book What Is Life? Schrödinger addressed the problems of genetics, looking at the phenomenon of life from the point of view of physics. He also...

This is one for #Physics Mastodon, please boost it if you don't know the answer
I cannot find an English-language, book-length biography of #KarlSchwarzschild, the physicist who provided the first exact solution to #AlbertEinstein's #GeneralRelativity field equations.
Does one exist?
