The physicist may be satisfied when he has the mathematical scheme and knows how to use for the interpretation of the experiments. but he has to speak about his results also to non-physicists who will not be satisfied unless some explanation is given in plain language. even for the physicist the description in plain language will be the criterion of the degree of understanding that has been reached.

More From Werner Heisenberg

Even for the physicist the description in plain language will be a criterion of the degree of understanding that has been reached.
Plain Language Understanding Degrees
Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

So is not mathematical analysis then not just a vain game of the mind? to the physicist it can only give a convenient language; but isn't that a mediocre service, which after all we could have done without; and, it is not even to be feared that this artificial language be a veil, interposed between reality and the physicist's eye? far from that, without this language most of the initimate analogies of things would forever have remained unknown to us; and we would never have had knowledge of the internal harmony of the world, which is, as we shall see, the only true objective reality.
Eye Science Reality
I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. these experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. i think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality.
Reality Thinking Way
The physicist, in his study of natural phenomena, has two methods of making progress: (1) the method of experiment and observation, and (2) the method of mathematical reasoning. the former is just the collection of selected data; the latter enables one to infer results about experiments that have not been performed. there is no logical reason why the second method should be possible at all, but one has found in practice that it does work and meets with reasonable success.
