The basic idea is to shove all fundamental difficulties onto the neutron and to do quantum mechanics in the nucleus.

More quotes by Werner Heisenberg
Science clears the fields on which technology can build.
Werner Heisenberg
Whenever we proceed from the known to the unkown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word 'understanding'
Werner Heisenberg
Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the undular.
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 very act of observing disturbs the system.
Werner Heisenberg
Every tool carries with it the spirit by which it has been created.
Werner Heisenberg
Unless you stake your life, life will not be won.
Werner Heisenberg
Quantum theory provides us with a striking illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection though we can only speak of it in images and parables.
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
Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.
Werner Heisenberg
The solution of the difficulty is that the two mental pictures which experiment lead us to form - the one of the particles, the other of the waves - are both incomplete and have only the validity of analogies which are accurate only in limiting cases.
Werner Heisenberg
The conception of objective reality ... has thus evaporated ... into the transparent clarity of mathematics that represents no longer the behavior of particles but rather our knowledge of this behavior.
Werner Heisenberg
Every experiment destroys some of the knowledge of the system which was obtained by previous experiments.
Werner Heisenberg
Nonsense. Space is blue and birds fly through it.
Werner Heisenberg
The more closely you look at one thing, the less closely can you see something else.
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
It will never be possible by pure reason to arrive at some absolute truth.
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
It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead it seems more reasonable to try to establish a theoretical quantum mechanics, analogous to classical mechanics, but in which only relations between observable quantities occur.
Werner Heisenberg
