Werner Heisenberg Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Modern physics has changed nothing in the great classical disciplines of, for instance, mechanics, optics, and heat. Only the conception of hitherto unexplored regions, formed prematurely from a knowledge of only certain parts of the world, has undergone a decisive transformation. This conception, however, is always decisive for the future course of research Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the undular Picture Quote #1

Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics Picture Quote #1

The exact sciences also start from the assumption that in the end it will always be possible to understand nature, even in every new field of experience, but that we may make no a priori assumptions about the meaning of the word understand Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject and how to avoid them Picture Quote #1

Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves Picture Quote #1

Every word or concept, clear as it may seem to be, has only a limited range of applicability Picture Quote #1

The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science Picture Quote #1
