內容(TextContent):
对立者相成。
Contraria sunt complementa.(丹麥/拉丁)
Opposites are complementary.

出处(Source):
尼尔斯·玻尔《原子物理学与人类知识》
Niels Bohr, Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge

注解(Annotation):
思想来源:尼尔斯·玻尔 (Niels Bohr)“量子力学、互补原理” - 丹麦
核心对话点:整体论、动态平衡、万物互联。
Source of thought: Niels Bohr - "Quantum Mechanics, Complementary Principles" - Denmark
Core Points of Dialogue: Holism, dynamic balance, and the Interconnectivity of all things.


1.玻尔的“互补原理”(波粒二象性)直接受到太极图的启发,他甚至将太极图作为族徽,刻上“Contraria Sunt Complementa”(对立互补)。这是西方科学界对太极图最直接的致敬。玻尔认为,如同阴阳,微观粒子的波动性和粒子性看似矛盾,实则是描述同一实在的两个互补侧面,缺一不可。
Bohr believed that, much like yin and yang, the wave-like and particle-like properties of microscopic particles, though seemingly contradictory, are actually two complementary aspects describing the same reality, neither of which can be dispensed with.


Ps:丹麦物理学家尼尔斯·玻尔(Niels Bohr, 1885–1962)因在原子结构和量子力学方面的开创性贡献,于1947年被丹麦国王克里斯蒂安十世授予世袭贵族头衔(大象勋章骑士),并获准设计家族纹章。
在他的纹章中央,绘有一个著名的道教太极图(☯),象征对立统一——这直接呼应他在量子力学中提出的互补原理(Complementarity Principle):如波粒二象性、位置与动量等看似矛盾的性质,实则构成对现象的完整描述。
PS: Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885–1962) was awarded a hereditary noble title (Knighthood in the Order of the Elephant) by King Christian X of Denmark in 1947 for his pioneering contributions to atomic structure and quantum mechanics, and was granted permission to design the family coat of arms.
In the center of his coat of arms, there is a famous Taoist Tai Chi diagram (☯), symbolizing the unity of opposites - which directly corresponds to the complementary principle he proposed in quantum mechanics: seemingly contradictory properties such as wave and particle, or position and momentum, constitute a complete description of physical phenomenon.
