Abstract
Niels Bohr (1885–1962) was one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century and a rival of Albert Einstein. As an atomic physicist, Niels Bohr was concerned about the function of language as an unambiguous means of communicating experience related to the atomic world, and about the epistemological lessons arising from atomic physics. His main points of view are as follows:
There is “a fundamental limitation in the classical physical ideas when applied to atomic phenomena” (Bohr, 1934, p. 53).
