FUN WITH BOHR
Plus a little Steinham
The truth is – the closer you look at “REALITY”, the stranger
it gets… the stranger it looks! Look at cholesterol through an electron microscope, it looks like a wondrous jewel!
Even to make a statement about God is presumptious. Opinions are like assholes – everybody has one. It’s experiences that count.
My interpretation of an experience I have might be wonky – off to the left or off to the right. But ‘my experience is true for me’. It’s said,
“Everything is subjective.” I don’t really see it that way. You can just as easily say, “Everything is objective.” But that’s not exactly true, either.
You can just as easily say, “Both statements are true.” The way I tend to see it is: “Sooner or later subjective=objective.” But let’s not try to be too logical here. Because, sooner or later. ‘logic’, like the law’ is an ass.
Logic is way too limiting for what we’re approaching here. The foundation for our mind in the 21st century is quantum mechanics. It’s a wild and crazy place to be, but who wants it any other way?
Enter Niels Bohr, a mind that has seen the new world and danced in it.
YOUR THEORY IS CRAZY, BUT IT’S NOT CRAZY ENOUGH TO BE TRUE!
Niels Bohr
The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.***********************
Niels Bohr
No, no, you’re not thinking; you’re just being logical.***************************
Niels Bohr
When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images.***********************
Niels Bohr
YOUR THEORY IS CRAZY, BUT IT’S NOT CRAZY ENOUGH TO BE TRUE!
Your theory is crazy, but it’s not crazy enough to be true.
If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.*******************************
If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet***************.
Power can be taken but never given.
The process of taking it is empowerment itself.
*Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described – and will be, after our deaths – by each of the family members who believe they know us.
