Today's celebrates Shroedinger's 126th birthday.
Right now I'm reading a book that mentions Shroedinger's equations in quantum physics, so it's an appropriate doodle for me.

...tired, evidently, of fiddling with inadequate math in which the 'cycles' per second factor out, he differentiated into a set of two equations in which the cycles are conserved and computable, take their product and you're left with a variant of Ohm's law, but the cycles factor out again, cancel...
...very ingenious...
As Richard Feynman used to say, physicists have a scandalous number of ways of saying essentially the same thing.
Shroedinger's wave equations amount to saying something different and new.

...after about a hundred essays, attempting to get a peek at what was happening inside the non-collapsing form of Schroedinger's wave equations, a visualization finally emerged, a bubble, with a notch in in it, converting it over to the collapsing form...

John Wisden - in the UK at any rate. His cricketing almanac is an English national treasure, but I don't know if it's important enough outside the cricketing nations (which obviously don't include the USA) to make it to .com.

What's the date where you are? Here in the UK we have a celebration of Leonidas da Silva's 100th birthday (6th September). I'd have thought he was of enough international significance to appear on .com as well as .co.uk, but I suppose the USA isn't that fussy about football/soccer.

I'm afraid I've never heard of Leonidas da Silva. 
I just looked him up - aha, interesting person. But I'll bet nobody in the UK has ever heard of Jane Addams, either - although she was a Nobel prizewinner.

We've got Da Silva in France too.
Never heard of him either, though.
