Ran into these quotes about Quantum Mechanics earlier today in Facebook. While I cannot pretend to really understand Quantum Mechanics, these still seemed fascinating.
Again, admittedly, I am not much of a scientist. It fascinates me, particularly astronomy, geography, geology, and technology, as well as evolution and life in general. That said, I just do not appear to have the capacity to really comprehend the stuff.
Nevertheless, some of these quotes really got me thinking. It was really quite fascinating. Also seemed worth sharing here.
Take a look (a picture of Niels Bohr, as well as the link to the Facebook post which got me on this topic to begin with, is listed down below).
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.”
“Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be directly observed.”
"An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field."
“Quantum theory forces us to abandon the classical ideal of determinism.”
"The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may well be another profound truth."
“A physicist is just an atom’s way of looking at itself.”
“Observations are not independent of the observer.”
"We must be clear that when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry."
“Understanding quantum mechanics is not about understanding but about accepting.”
"How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress."
“Quantum mechanics does not describe reality—it describes our knowledge of reality.”
