- Niels Bohr
About this Quote
In this quote, Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist and Nobel Prize winner, is highlighting the complexity of reality. He mentions that while the reverse of a reality is a falsehood, the opposite of a profound fact might not always be a fraud. Instead, it could be another extensive truth. This recommends that there can be numerous viewpoints or interpretations of a reality, and they can coexist without negating each other. It also emphasizes the idea that reality is not constantly black and white, but rather a nuanced and complex principle. Bohr's words remind us to approach reality with an open mind and to think about different viewpoints.
