The basic idea is to shove all fundamental difficulties onto the neutron and to do quantum mechanics in the nucleus. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
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
After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Quantum theory provides us with a striking illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection though we can only… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
In 1924, I became a Dozent in Gottingen and worked out the quantum mechanics during a holiday stay on Heligoland. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Can quantum mechanics represent the fact that an electron finds itself approximately in a given place and that it moves approximately with… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
It is true that in quantum theory we cannot rely on strict causality. But by repeating the experiments many times, we can… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
The incomplete knowledge of a system must be an essential part of every formulation in quantum theory. Quantum theoretical laws must be… — 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
“In the history of science, ever since the famous trial of Galileo, it has repeatedly been claimed that scientific truth cannot be reconciled with… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
The more closely you look at one thing, the less closely can you see something else. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
I think that if a United States of Europe were to be formed, it would be in our interests to fight for it, as… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the undular. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
If we made atomic bombs, we would bring about a terrible change in the world. Who knows what would happen from this? — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
“what we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning’.77” — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
A consistent pursuit of classical physics forces a transformation in the very heart of that physics. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before me ...… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
“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
I think that modern physics has definitely decided in favor of Plato. In fact the smallest units of matter are not physical objects in… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
The end of the First World War had thrown Germany's youth into great turmoil. The reins of power had fallen from the hands of… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share
![“It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before me ... At first I was deeply shaken ... I was so excited that I could not think of sleep. So I left the house ... and awaited the sunrise on top of a rock.” quote by Werner Heisenberg](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/bba/werner-heisenberg-4501_birth_it-was-about-three-o-clock-at-night-when_265746.jpg)
