A long-lost manuscript by quantum pioneer Erwin Schrödinger, unearthed in an Austrian archive by physicist Flavio Del Santo of the University of Geneva, is reshaping understanding of the Nobel laureate's philosophy. The three-page document, written in response to a heated 1944 debate in the journal Nature over the 'collapse of determinism,' reveals Schrödinger actively critiquing arguments against hidden variables, offering insight into a philosophical position more complex than his popular image as a champion of determinism.
