“The well established view today is rather that everything – anything at all – is at the same time particle and field. Everything has the continuous structure with which we are familiar from the field, as well as the discrete structure with which we are equally familiar from particles ... The difficulty, in all cases equally great, of combining these two so very different character traits in one mental picture is still the main stumbling-block which causes our conception of matter to be so wavering and uncertain.”
— Erwin Schroedinger, What Is Life?
“Closer investigation also shows us that the two poles of an antithesis, like positive and negative, are just as inseparable from each other as they are opposed, and that despite all their opposition they mutually penetrate each other.”
— Friedrich Engels, Anti-Dühring.
