God & The Modern World (Marquette Studies in Philosophy)

Besides buildings and monuments from an earlier time, a walk in Vor Frue Plads, the cathedral square of the city of Copenhagen, presents to the careful observer an interesting contrast between religion and science. Outside the old university building can be seen a bust of physicist Niels Bohr (1885-1962), famous for his work in atomic physics and not least for his use of the idea of“complementarity” to deal with the fact that matter and radiation can be viewed as waves and particles. Under his bust is carved the Yin Yang symbol from Taoism, which Bohr used to indicate what he saw as the union of the two conflicting positions.
