Looking At Something Changes It.

Not Only Is The Universe Stranger Than We Think, It Is Stranger Than We Can Think.

What We Observe Is Not Nature Itself But Nature Exposed To Our Method Of Questioning. Our Scientific Work In Physics Consists In Asking Questions About Nature In The Language That We Possess And Trying To Get An Answer From Experiment By The Means That Are At Our Disposal.

Where No Guiding Ideals Are Left To Point The Way, The Scale Of Values Disappears And With It The Meaning Of Our Deeds And Sufferings, And At The End Can Lie Only Negation And Despair. Religion Is Therefore The Foundation Of Ethics, And Ethics The Presupposition Of Life.

The Solution Of The Difficulty Is That The Two Mental Pictures Which Experiment Lead Us To Form - The One Of The Particles, The Other Of The Waves - Are Both Incomplete And Have Only The Validity Of Analogies Which Are Accurate Only In Limiting Cases.

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.
