In the world of the very small, where particle and wave aspects of reality are equally significant, things do not behave in any way that we can understand from our experience of the everyday world...all pictures are false, and there is no physical analogy we can make to understand what goes on inside atoms. Atoms behave like atoms, nothing else. John Gribbin
About This Quote

In the world of the very small, where particle and wave aspects of reality are equally significant, things do not behave in any way that we can understand from our experience of the everyday world. In this quote, Richard Feynman is speaking about the nature of physical laws. He’s explaining that while some things may seem to be physical, they are not always so. When an old saying says “as above, so below,” it is referring to this idea of everything being connected in some way. It is known as the law of correspondences.
