It Will Never Be Possible

We Will Have To Abandon The Philosophy Of Democritus And The Concept Of Elementary Particles. We Should Accept Instead The Concept Of Elementary Symmetries.

The Structure Underlying The Phenomena Is Not Given By Material Objects Like The Atoms Of Democritus But By The Form That Determines The Material Objects. The Ideas Are More Fundamental Than The Objects.

There Are Things That Are So Serious That You Can Only Joke About Them.

In My Paper The Fact The Xy Was Not Equal To Yx Was Very Disagreeable To Me. I Felt This Was The Only Point Of Difficulty In The Whole Scheme...and I Was Not Able To Solve It.

The Incomplete Knowledge Of A System Must Be An Essential Part Of Every Formulation In Quantum Theory. Quantum Theoretical Laws Must Be Of A Statistical Kind. To Give An Example: We Know That The Radium Atom Emits Alpha-radiation. Quantum Theory Can Give Us An Indication Of The Probability That The Alpha-particle Will Leave The Nucleus In Unit Time, But It Cannot Predict At What Precise Point In Time The Emission Will Occur, For This Is Uncertain In Principle.
