Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Famous quotes containing the words uncertainty and/or principle:

    “It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
    That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
    Along uncertainty and gales of shame
    Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
    I dare not think alive: only a name
    That chimes occasionally, as a belief
    Long since embedded in the static past.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Thanks to all. For the great republic—for the principle it lives by, and keeps alive—for man’s vast future,—thanks to all.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
