Heisenberg on Beauty

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 10:23 am
 

"… die Schönheit… [ist] die
 richtige Übereinstimmung
 der Teile miteinander
 und mit dem Ganzen."

"Beauty is the proper conformity
 of the parts to one another
 and to the whole."
 
  — Werner Heisenberg,
"Die Bedeutung des Schönen
 in der exakten Naturwissenschaft,"
 address delivered to the
 Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts,
 Munich, 9 Oct. 1970, reprinted in
 Heisenberg's Across the Frontiers,
 translated by Peter Heath,
 Harper & Row, 1974

This is not the meth-lab Heisenberg —
who also suggests a German saying:

. . . Gestaltung, Umgestaltung, 
  Des ewigen Sinnes ewige Unterhaltung . . . .
