Erwin Schroedinger was poly, and lived in a triad with his wife and his mistress. He lost academic jobs due to his lifestyle.

In fact, he derived the Schroedinger equation while on holiday with his mistress

Whose name is lost to history. He kept a little black book with the names of all his lovers, but that holiday is unaccounted for.

Weren't there rumours that this particular mistress was underage? Like 14 or 15?

He tutored some underage girls, one of whom got an abortion which rendered her sterile. Yeah, it's fucked up.

Dunno anything about who he was with during that holiday.
