    He’s both a member and not a member at he same time. It’s only when you open one of the boxes that the fact of his membership collapses into one of the two definite states.

    Until you open the 2nd box, Schrödinger will remain in two states at once. He will simultaneously be a member, and not be a member.

      Not valued, because it will never be for sale, unless the Royal Society ends and liquidates. Not in our lifetimes.

    "He was invited [to Ireland] by Eamon de Valera a noted Mathmetician and also a noted Irish politician."
    Referring to de Valera as simply a "noted Irish politician" is the understatement of the century.

    Ironic that Schrödinger, the man that conceived of being in two states, has his RS membership suspended because of two states: Austria and Ireland.
