In a comparatively nonsense-free book review, we read,
Schrödinger and Einstein both spent far longer on the hunt for a unification of quantum physics and relativity than they had on the breakthroughs for which they are known. This quixotic quest forms the major part of Halpern’s book, and it makes for a tragic tale.
instein revised and rejigged his work, to the increasing ennui of his peers and the increasing adulation of the world. Schrödinger, never as famous, overstepped the mark, trying so hard to be taken seriously that he offended Einstein with public pronouncements about the superiority of his own work. For three years, Einstein didn’t return Schrödinger’s letters.
Their fellow physicists became more bewildered and irritated by the pair. It is tough for physicists to see the public offer awe and respect for ideas that are unproven speculation. …
“Unproven speculation” tough? Really?
Tough for some physicists, but for others the multiverse sure fixed that.

As to,
Perhaps if these two great scientists were a bit more humble, and more concerned with finding the truth rather than self-promotion, maybe they would have found that elusive ‘theory of everything’?
As mentioned the other day, the most profound confusion in modern physics is the fallacious belief that blind causality is superior to agent causality, as originally envisioned by the Christian founders of modern science, in terms of explanatory power.
Aside from the epistemological failure in science that ensues from the denial of humans as rational, causal, agents in the first place, nowhere is the ‘profound confusion’ in physics, that ensues by denying agent causality, more pronounced than in quantum physics.
Quantum Physics literally screams for the agent causality of God as an explanation.
Schrödinger’s own equation should have been a huge hint to Schrödinger (and many others) that a genuine ‘theory of everything’ must include the agent causality of God in its explanation:
The neccessity for God as an explanation in quantum mechanics, as a ‘causal agent’ in quantum mechanics, has only gotten far stronger since Schrödinger (and Einstein) tried to find the ‘theory of everything’:
And when the agent causality of God is rightly let back into science, then a solution to the most profound enigma in modern physics, that Einstein and Schrödinger both apparently vainly spent much of the time on, readily pops out for us.
Namely, the resurrection of Christ from death provides a empirically backed reconciliation of Quantum Mechanics/Special Relativity, (Quantum Electrodynamics), and General Relativity into the much sought after ‘theory of everything’:
Verse and Music:
And it is not as if the Theist is lacking in empirical evidence for agent causality within physics. Quantum Mechanics itself is literally screaming for agent causality to be let back into science:
