Quotations
34 ;;Quote: probabilitistic laws of radiation fundamentally different than statistical analysis of complex system; with radiation, there is no individuality or elementary process
39 ;;Quote: all experiments must be expressed in classical terms; otherwise can not communicate clearly
39+;;Quote: can not separate atomic operations from their measuring instruments; all description is inherently classical
40 ;;Quote: evidence from different experiments is complementary; can not be comprehended within a single picture; measurement and experiment are intertwined
47 ;;Quote: avoid ascribing attributes to God in everyday language; e.g., Does God play dice?
51 ;;Quote: can only study different complementary types of atomic phenomena
