Quantum Theory Provides Us With A Striking

Nonsense. Space Is Blue And Birds Fly Through It.

...separation Of The Observer From The Phenomenon To Be Observed Is No Longer Possible.

It Seems Sensible To Discard All Hope Of Observing Hitherto Unobservable Quantities, Such As The Position And Period Of The Electron... Instead It Seems More Reasonable To Try To Establish A Theoretical Quantum Mechanics, Analogous To Classical Mechanics, But In Which Only Relations Between Observable Quantities Occur.

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.

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.
