HIGHER DIMENSIONALITY. “Bohr noted among other things that the quantum wave function in general “lives” in a mathematical space with more than the usual three dimensions.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

ELUSIVE REALITY. “Bohr emphasizes what one can say about nature, and rejects the question of how nature is in itself. This is consistent with the fact that Bohr almost always stresses epistemological rather than ontological aspects of quantum mechanics.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

INCORRECT ASSUMPTION. “Bohr’s viewpoint, it would mean to assert that an object in itself is a quantum system. An obvious suggestion would be to think that the deep nature of objects is correctly represented by quantum wave functions. But Bohr could not have supported this idea.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

ONLY CONTEXTUAL. “For in his view, the wave function is symbolical, and it can be attributed to objects only in experimental contexts which are not themselves described by such wave functions.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

THE INSTRUMENT. “Bohr emphasized that a macroscopic measuring apparatus, or at least parts of it, can also be treated quantum mechanically.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

INSEPARABILITY. “Bohr believed that the quantum of action (Planck’s constant) is a basic empirical discovery that symbolizes an aspect of wholeness in atomic processes. Such processes cannot be separated from their interaction with the measuring device.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

RUSSIAN DOLLS. “Moreover, Bohr stresses that the classical description of objects is strictly speaking valid only as an approximation in the limit where one can ignore the quantum of action. This seems to imply that all objects are in some sense dependent on the quantum of action.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

THE LINE. “Bohr insisted that when a measuring apparatus, or parts of it, is treated quantum mechanically, there must then always be a different system which is treated classically.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

CONTRADICTORY DATA. “In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance View in LinkedIn
