What we probe is not nature?
“What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.”
What we probe is not nature but nature under our methods of questioning?
According to Werner Heisenberg, another major contributor to the Copenhagen interpretation, what we observe in our experiments is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our methods of questioning nature. In short, an electron is not a thing until we observe it!
What was the quote by Max Planck?
A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
Why does Heisenberg use turbulence?
On his death bed, Heisenberg is reported to have said, “When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: Why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first.” However, this quote is also attributed to Horace Lamb.
What do we observe Heisenberg?
“What we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning,” wrote German physicist Werner Heisenberg, who was the first to fathom the uncertainty inherent in quantum physics. Is Heisenberg saying that our scientific theories are contingent on us as observers?
What we observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning Werner Heisenberg?
Werner Karl Heisenberg (5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) was a German physicist, Nobel laureate, and one of the founders of the field of quantum mechanics. We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
What did Max Planck say about consciousness?
Max Planck said, “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”
