HISTORY OF PHYSICS
In 1976, Felix Bloch recalled:
One at the end of a colloquium I heard Peter Debye saying something like:
"Schrödinger, you are not working right now on very important problems ... why don't you tell us some time about that thesis of de Broglie, which seems to have attracted some attention?"
1/
So, in one of the next colloquia, Schrödinger gave a beautifully clear account of how de Broglie associated a wave with a particle, and how he could obtain the quantization rules ... by demanding that an integer number of waves should befitted along a stationary orbit.
When Schrödinger had finished, Debye casually remarked that he thought this way of talking was rather childish ... To deal properly with waves, one had to have a wave equation...
And so a new world opened up.

@VergaraLautaro
Is there some approximate year when this was supposed to happen? 1976 is a bit late for a Schrödinger story
@tobychev One can remember the past. That is a fact., haha.
@tobychev @VergaraLautaro It was a retrocausal retrospection.
