More quotes by 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
The basic idea is to shove all fundamental difficulties onto the neutron and to do quantum mechanics in the nucleus.
Werner Heisenberg
The 'path' comes into existence only when we observe it.
Werner Heisenberg
Unless you stake your life, life will not be won.
Werner Heisenberg
Thus, the more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known, and conversely.
Werner Heisenberg
Looking at something changes it.
Werner Heisenberg
What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
Werner Heisenberg
There are things that are so serious that you can only joke about 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
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
We will have to abandon the philosophy of Democritus and the concept of elementary particles. We should accept instead the concept of elementary symmetries.
Werner Heisenberg
It will never be possible by pure reason to arrive at some absolute truth.
Werner Heisenberg
My mind was formed by studying philosophy, Plato and that sort of thing.
Werner Heisenberg
Every experiment destroys some of the knowledge of the system which was obtained by previous experiments.
Werner Heisenberg
Science no longer is in the position of observer of nature, but rather recognizes itself as part of the interplay between man and nature. The scientific method ... changes and transforms its object: the procedure can no longer keep its distance from the object.
Werner Heisenberg
The reality we can put into words is never reality itself.
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
When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: Why relativity ? And why turbulence ? I really believe he will have an answer for the first.
Werner Heisenberg
Only a few know, how much one must know to know how little one knows.
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
