    It’s the duality of man, sometimes people can do great things at the same time as doing terrible things.

    We should just realise that people are good and bad and not hold people on pedestals.

      I don’t give a flying fuck about the “duality of a man”. As I said, we can’t cancel the work of this POS. What we can do is letting his story die among other not so famous scientists but nonetheless more relevant even in the eyes of science. Those who deserve to be known and reminded.

      My dad liked that quote “You die twice. First when your body shuts down. Second the last time someone ever pronounces your name”

      So if you don’t mind, let’s kill that motherfucker once and for all.

        It’s just an unrealistic expectation is alls I’m saying. The fact is, people will remember his name in 10,000 years because he is a part of history and you can’t rewrite history.

        Let’s agree to disagree aye.

          I think in 10,000 years he’ll be in the books, but people won’t be making memes, and the average person won’t know anything about him.

        Curious, non native English speaker?

        Reminded is more like to make them remember. Remembered would be the word.

        Also, pronounces kinda works, but simpler would just be the word “says”, or to add a more ominous tone “utters”.

        No judgement, actually positive judgement… it’s very good English. And better than I speak any other language.

        Sure. Which other scientist who first designed Schrödinger’s Cat experiment should I refer to by name, then?

          The S. Cat experiment has always been a pun. It argues that the cat is in superposition of state, which is absurd. That was a bad dad joke from the very beginning.

          So what you’re asking is basically “how do I tell the joke without telling the joke?”

          And my answer to that is maybe you simply shouldn’t tell that joke because it’s bad.

          There are tons of better quantum physics jokes. Go watch an episode of Futurama
