More quotes by 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
Every word or concept, clear as it may seem to be, has only a limited range of applicability.
Werner Heisenberg
The more closely you look at one thing, the less closely can you see something else.
Werner Heisenberg
Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.
Werner Heisenberg
The discontinuous 'reduction of the wave packets' which cannot be derived from Schroedinger's equation is ... a consequence of the transition from the possible to the actual.
Werner Heisenberg
Only a few know, how much one must know to know how little one knows.
Werner Heisenberg
Thus, the more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known, and conversely.
Werner Heisenberg
...separation of the observer from the phenomenon to be observed is no longer possible.
Werner Heisenberg
It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet.
Werner Heisenberg
By getting to smaller and smaller units, we do not come to fundamental or indivisible units. But we do come to a point where further division has no meaning.
Werner Heisenberg
Can quantum mechanics represent the fact that an electron finds itself approximately in a given place and that it moves approximately with a given velocity, and can we make these approximations so close that they do not cause experimental difficulties?
Werner Heisenberg
The reality we can put into words is never reality itself.
Werner Heisenberg
The one who insists on never uttering an error must remain silent.
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 problems of language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary language.
Werner Heisenberg
Looking at something changes it.
Werner Heisenberg
The 'path' comes into existence only when we observe it.
Werner Heisenberg
The structure underlying the phenomena is not given by material objects like the atoms of Democritus but by the form that determines the material objects. The Ideas are more fundamental than the objects.
Werner Heisenberg
After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense.
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
