“Both matter and radiation possess a remarkable duality of character, as they sometimes exhibit the properties of waves, at other times those of particles. Now it is obvious that a thing cannot be a form of wave motion and composed of particles at the same time - the two concepts are too different” TwoDifferentSometimesMatterCharacterFormConceptsPropertyWaveObviousRemarkableRadiationParticlesDualityExhibits Book:The Physical Principles of the Quantum Theory Source: The Physical Principles of the Quantum Theory

“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.” RealityUnderstoodConceptsInfinite Author:Werner Heisenberg
“Therefore, the two processes, that of science and that of art, are not very different. Both science and art form in the course of the centuries a human language by which we can speak about the more remote parts of reality, and the coherent sets of concepts as well as the different styles of art are different words or groups of words in this language.” HumansWellsArtTwoDifferentRealityFormCoursesSpeakLanguageProcessGroupsCenturyStyleConceptsArt And ScienceDifferent StylesHuman Language Author:Werner Heisenberg
