Schrödinger’s Pedophilia: The Cat Is Out Of The Bag (Box) (2022)

One example from the article (few more inside)
> Ithi Junger. British astrophysicist John Gribbin reported in his 2013 biography Erwin Schrödinger and the Quantum Revolution that, at the age of 39, Schrödinger became enamored of 14-year-old Ithi, whom he was tutoring in math. “As well as the maths, the lessons included ‘a fair amount of petting and cuddling’ [as Schrödinger stated in his diary] and Schrödinger soon convinced himself that he was in love with Ithi.” There is no evidence that things went beyond “petting and cuddling” when Ithi was 14, but before he died in 1961 Schrödinger admitted that he’d impregnated her when she was 17. Her abortion left her sterile.
And the author's conclusion:
> Meanwhile, I’m still dealing with my shock about Erwin Schrödinger. For me right now, he exists in two states of being at once. In other words, Erwin Schrödinger has become Schrödinger’s Cat. He is both a beacon of scientific light and a monster. Both/and, not yet either/or. That being said, some behavior is just too putrid to tolerate. As the revelations about his behavior continue to curdle inside of me, one of those views will take precedence. Very soon, I suspect, I will say, “He’s dead to me.”
I do not agree with this conclusion. For me, he can both be a scientific light and a monster. In the same way, I can still very much enjoy the artistic genius of Kevin Spacey, despite him getting cancelled a few years back for raping a boy.
What do you think? Is a genius dead to you on all fronts once they did something awful?
