Yes. It's also funny how he allined Maxwell as the second most important theoretical physicist and declared the Shroedinger eqution to be the most important one. One can relate to evaluation of scientists' contributions, but a hierarchy of equations --- what a moronic statement to make. It is he who computes the solutions of that equation all his life; in his life it well may be the most "important" one. I think he should stick to that occupation.

P.S. John A. Wheeler wrote once, "No one doubts today that the Shroedinger qeuation containts in principle all chemistry." I wonder what the esteemed professor thinks of that.

That should have been written as Schrödinger, of course. Sorry.
