Favorite Werner Heisenberg Quotes

1. "Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think." ~ Werner Heisenberg
2. "The reality we can put into words is never reality itself." ~ Werner Heisenberg
3. "If nature leads us to mathematical forms of great simplicity and beauty—by forms, I am referring to coherent systems of hypotheses, axioms, etc.—to forms that no one has previously encountered, we cannot help thinking that they are "true," that they reveal a genuine feature of nature…. You must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationships which nature suddenly spreads out before us and for which none of us was in the least prepared." ~ Werner Heisenberg
4. "Every word or concept, clear as it may seem to be, has only a limited range of applicability." ~ Werner Heisenberg
5. "Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves." ~ Werner Heisenberg
6. "The problems of language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary language." ~ Werner Heisenberg
7. "The solution of the difficulty is that the two mental pictures which experiment lead us to form - the one of the particles, the other of the waves - are both incomplete and have only the validity of analogies which are accurate only in limiting cases." ~ Werner Heisenberg
8. "The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had better pass over in silence. But can anyone conceive of a more pointless philosophy, seeing that what we can say clearly amounts to next to nothing? If we omitted all that is unclear, we would probably be left completely uninteresting and trivial tautologies." ~ Werner Heisenberg
9. "In the history of science, ever since the famous trial of Galileo, it has repeatedly been claimed that scientific truth cannot be reconciled with the religious interpretation of the world. Although I an now convinced that scientific truth is unassailable in its own field, I have never found it possible to dismiss the content of religious thinking as simply part of an outmoded phase in the consciousness of mankind, a part we shall have to give up from now on, Thus in the course of my life I have repeatedly been compelled to ponder on the relationship of these two regions of though, for I have never been able to doubt the reality of that to which they point." ~ Werner Heisenberg
10. "Revere those things beyond science which really matter and about which it is so difficult to speak." ~ Werner Heisenberg
11. "[T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts." ~ Werner Heisenberg
12. "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." ~ Werner Heisenberg
