Louis de Broglie Professions : Physicist Born : August 15, 1892 Died : March 19, 1987 Browse All Authors Top 8 quotes by Louis de Broglie The actual state of our knowledge is always provisional and... there must be, beyond what is actually known, immense new regions to discover. Louis de Broglie limits discovery knowledge We are not sufficiently astonished by the fact that any science may be possible. Louis de Broglie may facts Two seemingly incompatible conceptions can each represent an aspect of the truth... They may serve in turn to represent the facts without ever entering into direct conflict. Louis de Broglie entering truth two In space-time everything which for each of us constitutes the past, the present and the future is given en bloc...Each observer, as his time passes, discovers, so to speak, new slices of space-time which appear to him as successive aspects of the material world, though in reality the ensemble of events constituting space-time exist prior to his knowledge of them. Louis de Broglie space reality past It seems a little paradoxical to construct a configuration space with the coordinates of points which do not exist. Louis de Broglie paradoxical space littles The history of science shows that the progress of science has constantly been hampered by the tyrannical influence of certain conceptions that finally came to be considered as dogma. For this reason, it is proper to submit periodically to a very searching examination, principles that we have come to assume without any more discussion. Louis de Broglie examination progress principles For X-rays, the phenomenon of diffraction by crystals was a natural consequence of the idea that X-rays are waves analogous to light and differ from it only by having a smaller wavelength. Louis de Broglie waves only light natural The electron can no longer be conceived as a single, small granule of electricity; it must be associated with a wave, and this wave is no myth; its wavelength can be measured and its interferences predicted.
