The 'path' Comes Into Existence Only When

After The Conversations About Indian Philosophy, Some Of The Ideas Of Quantum Physics That Had Seemed So Crazy Suddenly Made Much More Sense.

Nature Allows Only Experimental Situations To Occur Which Can Be Described Within The Framework Of The Formalism Of Quantum Mechanics

Every Word Or Concept, Clear As It May Seem To Be, Has Only A Limited Range Of Applicability.

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.

The Violent Reaction On The Recent Development Of Modern Physics Can Only Be Understood When One Realises That Here The Foundations Of Physics Have Started Moving; And That This Motion Has Caused The Feeling That The Ground Would Be Cut From Science
