Niels Bohr (1885 – 1962)
Jewish Danish physicist.
Yes, I think that your theory is crazy. Sadly, it's not crazy enough to be believed.
An expert is a person who has found out by his own painful experience all the mistakes that one can make in a very narrow field.
One of the favorite maxims of my father was the distinction between the two sorts of truths, profound truths recognized by the fact that the opposite is also a profound truth, in contrast to trivialities where opposites are obviously absurd.
Stop telling God what to do with his dice.
We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question is whether it is crazy enough to be have a chance of being correct.
Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.
Isolated material particles are abstractions, their properties being definable and observable only through their interaction with other systems.
It is a great pity that human beings cannot find all of their satisfaction in scientific contemplativeness.
Not often in life has a human being caused me such joy by his mere presence as you did.
I remember discussions with Bohr which went through many hours till very late at night and ended almost in despair; and when at the end of the discussion I went alone for a walk in the neighbouring park I repeated to myself again and again the question: Can nature possibly be so absurd as it seemed to us in these atomic experiments?
There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature...
It is not enough to be wrong, one must also be polite.
