Writings on Physics and Philosophy QUOTES

1 " A synthesis embracing both rational understanding and the mystical experience of unity is the mythos, spoken or unspoken, or our present day and age. "

― Wolfgang Pauli , Writings on Physics and Philosophy

2 " The theoretical determination of the fine structure constant is certainly the most important of the unsolved problems of modern physics. We believe that any regression to the ideas of classical physics (as, for instance, to the use of the classical field concept)cannot bring us nearer to this goal. To reach it, we shall, presumably, have to pay with further revolutionary changes of the fundamental concepts of physics with a still farther digression from the concepts of the classical theories. "

― Wolfgang Pauli , Writings on Physics and Philosophy

3 " It would be most satisfactory if physics and psyche could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality "

― Wolfgang Pauli , Writings on Physics and Philosophy

4 " From the point of view of logic, my report on 'Exclusion principle and quantum mechanics' has no conclusion. I believe that it will only be possible to write the conclusion if a theory will be established which will determine the value of the fine structure constant and will thus explain the atomistic structure of electricity, which is such an essential quality of all atomic sources of electric fields actually occurring in nature. "
