-- theircompetitor, Mar 08 2012 Schrödinger Fix Schr_f6dinger_20FixAnd why not ... ? [8th of 7, Mar 09 2012] Wtf, is nothing sacred? http://m.tgdaily.co...e-visible-after-all [theircompetitor, Mar 04 2013] Föund it.-- Alterother, Mar 08 2012 Is it a heavy metal ümlaut?-- baconbrain, Mar 08 2012 This would be a good idea to put on a sign using lenticular printing.
Look at it one way and says: "Schrodinger" but viewed from another angle and it is: "Schrödinger".
Does the umlaut exist or not?-- AusCan531, Mar 08 2012 Nö.-- Alterother, Mar 08 2012 ..-- pocmloc, Mar 08 2012 :-- FlyingToaster, Mar 08 2012 o o-- theleopard, Mar 08 2012 O O-- pocmloc, Mar 08 2012 So, where did the speed of light go?
hint, hint...title..-- Ling, Mar 08 2012 A grumpily awarded bun [+] Excuse me while I go have my legs resized.-- FlyingToaster, Mar 08 2012 A similar phenomenon exists for 'Ångström'.-- Helixthecat, Mar 08 2012 Yeah, but the umlauts on an Ångström are way too small to see.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 08 2012 Yeah, but maybe if you gave it a chance, you'd realize that the Ångström is still a great unit? I mean, it may have small umlauts, but it works hard, does its job, it's loyal and intelligent, and it and doesn't go through life coasting on luck like SOME units I know.-- shapu, Mar 09 2012 // So, where did the speed of light go?

Sorry [Ling], I don't get it. Help me out here?-- baconbrain, Mar 09 2012 Thank you [baconbrain]. I was too shy to ask.-- AusCan531, Mar 09 2012 I, too, am ashamed to admit it when I don't get the joke. The last time it happened it was really, really obvious.-- Alterother, Mar 09 2012 Maybe there's a reason that "c" is missing from the name in the title?-- Ling, Mar 09 2012 Aha! I c it now.-- AusCan531, Mar 09 2012 What's not to like ... ? Bun.
<link>-- 8th of 7, Mar 09 2012 From this angle, I see a "c".
I'm gonna go wash my hair or something ....-- baconbrain, Mar 09 2012 If we stare at the ' will it collapse into a ’ do you think?-- pocmloc, Mar 09 2012 <trying his best to sound like a Monty Python sketch>zee Umlaut traces it's origins back to ze French, around ze time of Louis ze First. Of course, Louis didn't call 'imzelf "Ze first", because 'e 'ad no hidea zere would be uzzer Louises to follow in 'iz footsteps.
Louis was a well-known practical joker, and 'e convinced 'is son, Louis ze German, zat ze Germanic people, along wiss zere Scandinavian brezren to ze norse, should adopt ze umlaut to create zere own distinctive identity. Zis was a great source of 'umour to ze French since, as we all well know, "umlaut" is French for "in a pig's eye"!<thbtslaMPs>-- Canuck, Mar 09 2012 In moveable-type print houses, the accent mark in question was usually produced by using the upper tips of a discarded twenty-fourth letter of the alphabet.
"You can't make an umlaut without breaking some x."-- FlyingToaster, Mar 09 2012 //From this angle, I see a "c". I'm gonna go wash my hair or something ....//[baconbrain]
You missed that it was missing, because someone else realised it was missing and corrected the mistake without mentioning it. And the umlaut has been added, whereas that probably is a mistake, because I think it was meant to be missing...-- Ling, Mar 09 2012 //the Ångström is still a great unit?// It is. Why aren't there more metric units whose relative magnitude is a power of ten?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 09 2012 Thanks, [Ling], I thought that must be it.
(My hair now looks lovely, BTW.)-- baconbrain, Mar 10 2012 I finally got the joke.-- Alterother, Mar 10 2012 Wait... no I didn't. Shit.-- Alterother, Mar 10 2012 Schit-- AusCan531, Mar 10 2012 // It is. Why aren't there more metric units whose relative magnitude is a power of ten?//
Because the DeciÅngström is so popular...?-- Ling, Mar 10 2012 Deci Ångström was certainly the most popular girl at my school.-- baconbrain, Mar 10 2012 // "You can't make an umlaut without breaking x." //
