Nature is made in such a way as to be able to be understood. Or perhaps I should put it-more correctly-the other way around, and say that we are made in such a way as to be able to understand Nature.
Werner Heisenberg

More quotes by Werner Heisenberg
Every tool carries with it the spirit by which it has been created.
Werner Heisenberg
What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
Werner Heisenberg
The very act of observing disturbs the system.
Werner Heisenberg
The more precise the measurement of position, the more imprecise the measurement of momentum, and vice versa.
Werner Heisenberg
I think that the discovery of antimatter was perhaps the biggest jump of all the big jumps in physics in our century.
Werner Heisenberg
In the strict formulation of the law of causality—if we know the present, we can calculate the future—it is not the conclusion that is wrong but the premise. On an implication of the uncertainty principle.
Werner Heisenberg
...separation of the observer from the phenomenon to be observed is no longer possible.
Werner Heisenberg
In general, scientific progress calls for no more than the absorption and elaboration of new ideas- and this is a call most scientists are happy to heed.
Werner Heisenberg
The 'path' comes into existence only when we observe it.
Werner Heisenberg
Even for the physicist the description in plain language will be a criterion of the degree of understanding that has been reached.
Werner Heisenberg
An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject and how to avoid them.
Werner Heisenberg
The more closely you look at one thing, the less closely can you see something else.
Werner Heisenberg
My mind was formed by studying philosophy, Plato and that sort of thing.
Werner Heisenberg
Only a few know, how much one must know to know how little one knows.
Werner Heisenberg
There is a fundamental error in separating the parts from the whole, the mistake of atomizing what should not be atomized. Unity and complementarity constitute reality.
Werner Heisenberg
Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves
Werner Heisenberg
Unless you stake your life, life will not be won.
Werner Heisenberg
The basic idea is to shove all fundamental difficulties onto the neutron and to do quantum mechanics in the nucleus.
Werner Heisenberg
I believe that the existence of the classical path can be pregnantly formulated as follows: The path comes into existence only when we observe it.
Werner Heisenberg
The existing scientific concepts cover always only a very limited part of reality, and the other part that has not yet been understood is infinite.
Werner Heisenberg
