“Physics is not about how the world is, it is about what we can say about the world” — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
And anyone who thinks they can talk about quantum theory without feeling dizzy hasn't yet understood the first thing about it. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
Isolated material particles are abstractions, their properties being definable and observable only through their interaction with other systems . — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say… — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have… — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
Every description of natural processes must be based on ideas which have been introduced and defined by the classical theory. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
The very nature of the quantum theory ... forces us to regard the space-time coordination and the claim of causality, the union… — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
The present state of atomic theory is characterized by the fact that we not only believe the existence of atoms to be… — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
When asked ... [about] an underlying quantum world, Bohr would answer, 'There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum… — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image

If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field. — Niels Bohr Copy Share
An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes, which can be made, in a very narrow field. — Niels Bohr Copy Share
“Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself it’s own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.” — Niels Bohr Copy Share
It is a great pity that human beings cannot find all of their satisfaction in scientific contemplativeness. — Niels Bohr Copy Share
The meaning of life consists in the fact that it makes no sense to say that life has no meaning. — Niels Bohr Copy Share
Technology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue. — Niels Bohr Copy Share
Anybody who is not shocked by this subject has failed to understand it. [of quantum mechanics] — Niels Bohr Copy Share
