Can Quantum Mechanics Represent The Fact That

Thus, The More Precisely The Position Is Determined, The Less Precisely The Momentum Is Known, And Conversely.

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.

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.

In The Strict Formulation Of The Law Of Causality—if We Know The Present, We Can Calculate The Future—it Is Not The Conclusion That Is Wrong But The Premise. On An Implication Of The Uncertainty Principle.

I Think That Modern Physics Has Definitely Decided In Favor Of Plato. In Fact The Smallest Units Of Matter Are Not Physical Objects In The Ordinary Sense; They Are Forms, Ideas Which Can Be Expressed Unambiguously Only In Mathematical Language.
