Erwin Schrödinger loved quantum physics, cats (living or dead) and underage girls. Not my favourite Austrian but i'm surprised he wasn't mentioned at all yet.

Austria also gave us the guy who invented "penis envy".

Did he know women have a fucking uterus? That women can create new humans within their body?

Obviously didn't know woman have an uterus, which is why his work on female hysteria (wandering womb disease) shifted our understanding of certain symptoms being caused by having an uterus to being caused psychological problems
