Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
The Same organizing forces that have shaped nature in all her forms are also responsible for the structure of our minds. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Whoever dedicates his life to searching out particular connections of nature will spontaneously be confronted with the question how they harmoniously fit… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“We have to remember that what we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning. ” — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
What we observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning. Our scientific work in physics consists in… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Science no longer is in the position of observer of nature, but rather recognizes itself as part of the interplay between man… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Nature is made in such a way as to be able to be understood. Or perhaps I should put it-more correctly-the other… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
The exact sciences also start from the assumption that in the end it will always be possible to understand nature, even in… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“I remember discussions with Bohr which went through many hours till very late at night and ended almost in despair; and when… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
If nature leads us to mathematical forms of great simplicity and beauty - by forms I am referring to coherent systems of… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
You may object that by speaking of simplicity and beauty I am introducing aesthetic criteria of truth, and I frankly admit that… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“Revere those things beyond science which really matter and about which it is so difficult to speak.” — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
