The Wheel of Change - The Uncertainty Principle

http://thetaoofuncertainty.blogspot.com/2012/01/wheel-of-change-uncertainty-principle.html

Niels Bohr acknowledged the similarities between the complementarity concepts of Quantum Mechanics and the I Ching’s taiji (yin and yang) symbol when he added it to his design of his family coat of arms. This relationship deepen in his consciousness, because he realized this fundamental characteristic becomes more apparent as you move towards the quantum level of reality. Niel Bohr was a pioneer in QM who developed the famous Copenhagen Interpretation which discovered the “Complementarity” properties of matter that are opposite in nature. The bases for this theory was the famous Double Spilt experiment where the wave-particle duality was discovered. A photon emitter was pointed towards a panel of double slits where a light detector was placed behind it. At first, the detector showed an interference pattern as if each photon was passing through the double slit at the same time and acted like a wave. (see video below)
