Uncertainty Quotes

“إن الارتياب المستنير في البدهي قد يكون علامة العبقرية.”
― David Lindley, Uncertainty: Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, and the Struggle for the Soul of Science

“Determinism was the linchpin of classical physics, the crucial principle of causality. Born was now putting into words Einstein’s greatest fear, one he had expressed repeatedly for years. In classical physics, when anything happens, it happens for a reason, because prior events led up to it, set the conditions for it, made it inevitable. But in quantum mechanics, apparently, things just happen one way or another, and there is no saying why.”
― David Lindley, Uncertainty
