"Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real"

- Niels Bohr

About this Quote

In this quote, Niels Bohr is suggesting that our understanding of truth is not completely accurate. He argues that whatever we think about to be real, such as things and occasions, are actually made up of aspects that can not be thought about genuine in the standard sense. This challenges our understanding of what is really genuine and raises questions about the nature of truth itself. Bohr, a distinguished physicist, might be referring to the subatomic particles that make up matter, which can not be seen or touched however are important to the presence of physical items. This quote motivates us to question our understanding of truth and to consider the possibility that there might be more to it than what fulfills the eye.
