Quote by Werner Heisenberg

The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.

The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn

Summary

This quote, often attributed to physicist Werner Heisenberg, suggests that as one delves deeper into the realm of scientific knowledge and develops an understanding of the laws and workings of the natural world, it is common to question or reject the existence of a higher power or deity. However, the quote implies that if one continues to explore further and critically examine the mysteries of existence, they may eventually uncover a profound truth or spiritual understanding that leads them back to the possibility of God's existence. It highlights the potential reconciliation between science and spirituality at a more profound level of understanding.
