Werner Heisenberg Quotes on Reality

3 quotes

  1. 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.

  2. The existing scientific concepts cover always only a very limited part of reality, and the other part that has not yet been understood is infinite.

  3.
