Selling Refrigerators to Eskimos?

A few years back, the Coen Brothers made a movie in which a man was charged with a murder he did not commit. His lawyer came up with a defense based on a scientific theory he had heard once, about how you can tell where an atom is but you can't tell how fast it is moving, or you can tell how fast it's moving, but not pinpoint it's position. I thought, only the Coens would use Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle as a plotpoint in a movie. And the best part about it, the lawyer (played by Tony Shaloub) couldn't remember the scientist's name. So those in the audience who knew of Heisenberg, got it, but they didn't have to toot their own horn about it.

So, I thought Heisenberg's buddy Schrodinger deserved a little love for his thought experiment, popularly known as Schodinger's Cat.
