A writer from the Irish Press interviewed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger who spoke of Celtic heritage of Austrians, saying "I believe there is a deeper connection between us Austrians and the Celts. Names of places in the Austrian Alps are said to be of Celtic origin. For that reason, the celts can be seen to be both alive and dead, depending on whether it's being directly or indirectly observed."

this is the little known origin of schrodinger's celt, which through the error of a bad typist, became schrodinger's cat.
