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
I think that the discovery of antimatter was perhaps the biggest jump of all the big jumps in physics in our century. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
[T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Bohr's influence on the physics and the physicists of our century was stronger than that of anyone else, even than that of… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
A consistent pursuit of classical physics forces a transformation in the very heart of that physics. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
I had imagined doing nuclear physics and cosmic ray work in greater style in peace time. To do modern physics in a… — 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
The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of… — 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
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
I think that modern physics has definitely decided in favor of Plato. In fact the smallest units of matter are not physical… — 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
Although the theory of relativity makes the greatest of demands on the ability for abstract thought, still it fulfills the traditional requirements… — 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
Modern physics has changed nothing in the great classical disciplines of, for instance, mechanics, optics, and heat. Only the conception of hitherto… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“Here the attention of the research workers is primarily directed to the problem of reconciling the claims of the special relativity theory… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
The physicist may be satisfied when he has the mathematical scheme and knows how to use for the interpretation of the experiments.… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: Why relativity ? And why turbulence ? I really believe… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
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
“Revere those things beyond science which really matter and about which it is so difficult to speak.” — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“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 Image
The more closely you look at one thing, the less closely can you see something else. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
