Turns out physicists' personal lives are just as complex as their equations! This matrix classifies famous physicists by their relationship styles and ethics. Bohr kept his atoms and his marriage neatly aligned, while Shockley might have won a Nobel Prize but lost at basic human decency with his racist eugenics theories. Meanwhile, du Châtelet broke boundaries in both physics and bedroom politics (while translating Newton, no less!), and Schrödinger was simultaneously brilliant and terrible—much like his cat being simultaneously alive and dead. The real uncertainty principle was clearly about whether these geniuses could maintain functional relationships, not subatomic particles.
