It is difficult to predict, especially the future.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

When asked ... [about] an und...

When asked ... [about] an underlying quantum world, Bohr would answer, 'There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum 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.'

When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

In our description of nature ...

In our description of nature the purpose is not to disclose the real essence of the phenomena but only to track down, so far as it is possible, relations between the manifold aspects of our experience.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

Sometimes the child in one be...

Sometimes the child in one behaves a certain way and the rest of oneself follows behind, slowly shaking its head.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

The measurement we get when we measure something is not a property of the thing measured.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

The great extension of our experience in recent years has brought light to the insufficiency of our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a consequence, has shaken the foundation on which the customary interpretation of observation was based.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

We are all agreed that your t...

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.

It is, indeed, perhaps the greatest prospect of humanistic studies to contribute through an increasing knowledge of the history of cultural development to that gradual removal of prejudices which is the common aim of all science.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

The old saying of the two kinds of truth. To the one kind belongs statements so simple and clear that the opposite assertion obviously could not be defended. The other kind, the so-called 'deep truths', are statements in which the opposite also contains deep truth.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

In physics we deal with state...

In physics we deal with states of affairs much simpler than those of psychology and yet we again and again learn that our task is not to investigate the essence of things-we do not at all know what this would mean&mash;but to develop those concepts that allow us to speak with each other about the events of nature in a fruitful manner.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

If you have a correct stateme...

If you have a correct statement, then the opposite of a correct statement is of course an incorrect statement, a wrong statement. But when you have a deep truth, then the opposite of a deep truth may again be a deep truth.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

When we measure something we ...

When we measure something we are forcing an undetermined, undefined world to assume an experimental value. We are not measuring the world, we are creating it.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

A deep truth is a truth so de...

A deep truth is a truth so deep that not only is it true but it's exact opposite is also true.

It is very difficult to make an accurate prediction, especially about the future.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

The very nature of the quantu...

The very nature of the quantum theory ... forces us to regard the space-time coordination and the claim of causality, the union of which characterizes the classical theories, as complementary but exclusive features of the description, symbolizing the idealization of observation and description, respectively.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

The present state of atomic t...

The present state of atomic theory is characterized by the fact that we not only believe the existence of atoms to be proved beyond a doubt, but also we even believe that we have an intimate knowledge of the constituents of the individual atoms.

Anybody who is not shocked by this subject has failed to understand it. [of quantum mechanics]

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.

Niels Bohr 107 quotes

All rising curves that show unwelcome trends in human affairs will approach infinity if extended far enough, but it is we who dictate the curve and not vice versa.
