“Physics and Metaphysics”

Abstract

THE impossibility of eliminating the relations of complementarity from atomic physics is not a question of opinion but a simple logical point, as devoid of obscurity, as, for example, the impossibility of defining absolute simultaneity. For a detailed discussion of the points raised in M. de Broglie's comments I may refer the reader to my contribution to the book “Louis de Broglie, Physicien et Penseur” (Paris, 1952), a revised version of which appeared in Science Progress, 41, 393 (1953).
