Niels Bohr and complementarity : an introduction
This book offers a discussion of Niels Bohr s conception of complementarity, arguably his greatest contribution to physics and philosophy. By tracing Bohr s work from his 1913 atomic theory to the introduction and then refinement of the idea of complementarity, and by explicating different meanings...
