Lisi, you magnificent b*stard!

(Thanks for the article, snarks. Not that I have time to read it right now.)

Will self-ping and bookmark for later.

Full Disclosure: I read once that Heisenberg came up with the Uncertainty Principle while ensconced in a love nest with a girlfriend for a couple of weeks; there appear to be similarities here.

Cheers!

I read once that Heisenberg came up with the Uncertainty Principle while ensconced in a love nest with a girlfriend for a couple of weeks...

I believe you're thinking of Schrödinger, g_w. Here's a fun article from March, 2006:

Einstein, Feynman and other famous swingers

And here's the relevant passage from that article:

While once floundering on a problem, Erwin Schrödinger shacked up in an alpine villa for an extended holiday with “an old girlfriend” and, in the “late erotic outburst” that followed, produced the eponymous equation that would net him the Nobel.

Obviously, the “old girlfriend” is not to be confused with Schrödinger's wife at the time...
