Niels Bohr (1885 – 1962) was a Nobel Prize-winning Danish
physicist who was recognized for his contributions to our
understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics.
Bohr said that the opposite of a correct statement is an incorrect
statement, which is classic duality – equal but opposite.
However, Bohr seemingly contradicted this principle when
he said, “But the opposite of a profound truth is often another
profound truth.” These are very unusual words for a scientist,
but his thoughts touch on a very big idea.
