![“When asked ... [about] an underlying quantum world, Bohr would answer, 'There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about Nature.'” quote by Niels Bohr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f3d/niels-bohr-4542_abstract_when-asked-about-an-underlying-quantum-w_1467547.jpg)
![“[O]ne could assume an incompatibility, at one and the same level of reference, between two philosophical propositions, both of which cannot be true in accordance with the principle of contradiction. Alternatively, one might perhaps suppose a complementarity - perhaps even an incommensurability…” quote by Karl Brunnholzl](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a51/karl-brunnholzl-4600_buddhism_o-ne-could-assume-an-incompatibility-at_1574326.jpg)
