Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein, 1925.
I have always been fascinated by the photo
posted here. It shows the physicists Niels
Bohr and Albert Einstein side-by-side, lost
in thought. Bohr's head is bent down, his
eyes are deeply lowered, his finger across
his lip. Einstein's gaze goes outward and
upward, his hand placed only abstractedly
for emphasis.
Bohr was the great physicist of the atom,
of quantum theory and the most subtle and
smallest processes of the universe.
Einstein's vision was cosmological, ranging
across galaxies.
And yet, both part of the same exact thing.
Inward and Outward.
Microcosm and Macrocosm.
This Insubstantial Pageant Faded 
It's quarter past three
Nobody in the place
but just you and me
and Quantum theory! :sing: That's a very cool story, Allan. :up:
Interesting photo-interpretation. Nice thought.Besides – my dad once met Niels Bohr. It was way before my birth, unfortunately.Now, you may think that my father was a physicist or in any other way special. He was not. He was driving a truck and was supposed to unload two tonnes of potatoes. He stopped his engine because of a standstill in traffic. He had hopped out of the cabin of the truck and stood on the sidewalk smoking a cigarette when suddenly Niels Bohr addressed him:Niels Bohr: I see you're wearing a watch. Maybe you could tell me the current time?My Dad: Of course; it's a quarter past three.Niels Bohr: Thank you very much.My Dad: You're very welcome.Anybody want my autograph 😀
They look bored to me :DNice story Allan :up: Once I met…. but this is just another story… 😛
And a cool piece of poetry :smile:Oh, Darko. I feel a blogpost coming from you soon…..
😀
Cool.:up::D
I have been thinking.Isn't The Quantum Theory the dream stuff is made of?
Great phrase, Allan. The dream stuff is made of. Now we've got all that string theory type thinking. Another, different dream?
Probably. My guess is, that the world as such cannot be adequately described in any way.I guess all we have is the dream. Or the hope. Or faith?
Faith in 'science' vs faith in God.
Or, as Kant might have put it, a limits and bounds issue.
