Niels Bohr híres idézetei

„Azok, akiket nem sokkol, amikor először találkoznak a kvantummechanikával, valószínűleg nem értették meg.”

„Az ellentétek nem ellentmondások, hanem kiegészítések.”

„Az egyik fajta igazság kategóriájába az olyan egyszerű és világos megállapítások tartoznak, amelyek ellenkezője nyilvánvalóan nem tartható fenn. A másik fajta, úgynevezett "mély igazságok" ezzel szemben olyan állítások, amelyek ellenkezője is mély igazságot tartalmaz.”

Niels Bohr

„Ebből a szempontból az élet létezését mint elemi tényt kell felfognunk, amelynek semmiféle közelebbi megalapozása nem lehetséges, és amelyet a biológia kiindulási pontjává kell tennünk, …mint ahogy a hatáskvantum… az elemi részek létezésével együtt kiindulási alapja az atomfizikának.”

Niels Bohr

„Milyen csodálatos, hogy paradoxonnal találkoztunk. Most már van némi reményünk az előrelépésre.”

Niels Bohr

„Tisztában kell lennünk azzal, hogy amikor az atomokról van szó, a nyelvet csak úgy lehet használni, mint a költészetben.”

Niels Bohr

Said to Wolfgang Pauli after his presentation of Heisenberg's and Pauli's nonlinear field theory of elementary particles, at Columbia University (1958), as reported by F. J. Dyson in his paper “Innovation in Physics” (Scientific American, 199, No. 3, September 1958, pp. 74-82; reprinted in "JingShin Theoretical Physics Symposium in Honor of Professor Ta-You Wu," edited by Jong-Ping Hsu & Leonardo Hsu, Singapore; River Edge, NJ: World Scientific, 1998, pp. 73-90, here: p. 84).
Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.
As quoted in First Philosophy: The Theory of Everything (2007) by Spencer Scoular, p. 89
There are many slight variants on this remark:
We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough.
We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question is whether it is crazy enough to be have a chance of being correct.
We in the back are convinced your theory is crazy. But what divides us is whether it is crazy enough.
Your theory is crazy, the question is whether it's crazy enough to be true.
Yes, I think that your theory is crazy. Sadly, it's not crazy enough to be believed.

“However far the phenomena transcend the scope of classical physical explanation, the account of all evidence must be expressed in classical terms. The argument is that simply by the word "experiment" we refer to a situation where we can tell others what we have done and what we have learned and that, therefore, the account of the experimental arrangement and of the results of the observations must be expressed in unambiguous language with suitable application of the terminology of classical physics.”

In response to Frisch & Meitner's explanation of nuclear fission, as quoted in The Physicists - A generation that changed the world (1981) by C.P.Snow, p. 96

“For a parallel to the lesson of atomic theory regarding the limited applicability of such customary idealizations, we must in fact turn to quite other branches of science, such as psychology, or even to that kind of epistemological problems with which already thinkers like Buddha and Lao Tzu have been confronted, when trying to harmonize our position as spectators and actors in the great drama of existence.”

Speech on quantum theory at Celebrazione del Secondo Centenario della Nascita di Luigi Galvani, Bologna, Italy (October 1937)

“I am absolutely prepared to talk about the spiritual life of an electronic computer: to state that it is reflecting or is in a bad mood… The question whether the machine really feels or ponders, or whether it merely looks as though it did, is of course absolutely meaningingless.”
