Fascinating! ... How Schrödinger, Bohr, Heisenberg and others scientists were influenced by the 'Upanishads' philosophy, concepts and ideas.... as they wandered into the uncharted, often incomprehensible new field of 'quantum mechanics'.

"Schrödinger was moved by the Upanishads. He discussed it with everyone he met and made determined efforts to incorporate it in his life."
"And he wasn’t alone. Niels Bohr had famously said, “I go to the Upanishad to ask questions.”" https://science.thewire.in/the-sciences/erwin-schrodinger-quantum-mechanics-philosophy-of-physics-upanishads/

"In The Tao of Physics (1975), Fritjof Capra wrote of the time Heisenberg met Rabindranath Tagore, and that the “introduction to Indian thought brought Heisenberg great comfort.”"
"J. Robert Oppenheimer, who led the Manhattan Project to develop the world’s first nuclear weapons, learned Sanskrit so he could read the Bhagavad Gita in its original form"
"The Upanishads provided solace – a conception of reality and the universe based on observation and reasoning. In the precepts of these texts, the physicists found moral comfort, intellectual courage and spiritual guidance." https://science.thewire.in/the-sciences/erwin-schrodinger-quantum-mechanics-philosophy-of-physics-upanishads/
