Bohr's complementarity principle
Bohr's complementarity principle explains that in quantum physics, certain properties of particles, like being a wave or a particle, are mutually exclusive but both necessary for a complete understanding. Depending on how we observe or measure them, particles can exhibit wave-like behavior or particle-like behavior, but not both at the same time. This idea highlights that the nature of quantum objects depends on the context of measurement, emphasizing that different perspectives are complementary, and accepting both perspectives provides a fuller picture of their behavior.
