More quotes by Niels Bohr
We are trapped by language to such a degree that every attempt to formulate insight is a play on words.
Niels Bohr
It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we say about nature.
Niels Bohr
No, no, you're not thinking you're just being logical.
Niels Bohr
Truth is something that we can attempt to doubt, and then perhaps, after much exertion, discover that part of the doubt is not justified.
Niels Bohr
The very nature of the quantum theory ... forces us to regard the space-time coordination and the claim of causality, the union of which characterizes the classical theories, as complementary but exclusive features of the description, symbolizing the idealization of observation and description, respectively.
Niels Bohr
Predition is risky, especially of the future.
Niels Bohr
It is difficult to predict, especially the future.
Niels Bohr
Truth and clarity are complementary.
Niels Bohr
You must come to Copenhagen to work with us. We like people who can actually perform thought experiments!
Niels Bohr
Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.
Niels Bohr
When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.
Niels Bohr
The meaning of life consists in the fact that it makes no sense to say that life has no meaning.
Niels Bohr
There is no hope for any speculation that does not look absurd at first glance.
Niels Bohr
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
Niels Bohr
Opposites are not contradictory but complementary.
Niels Bohr
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.
Niels Bohr
The measurement we get when we measure something is not a property of the thing measured.
Niels Bohr
An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation.
Niels Bohr
If we couldn't laugh at ourselves, that would be the end of everything.
Niels Bohr
Rutherford is a man you can rely on he comes regularly and enquires how things are going and talks about the smallest details - Rutherford is such an outstanding man and really interested in the work of all the people around him.
Niels Bohr
