Re: Horseshoes and Niels Bohr

(true, science, smirk)

The following is the conclusion of the essay "Science and Religion" by
Werner Heisenberg (1927).  There is a chance that Heisenberg wouldn't
object to reproducing it.

Niels closed the conversation with one of those stories he liked to tell
on such occasions: "One of our neighbors in Tisvilde once fixed a horseshoe
over the door to his house.  When a common friend asked him, `But are you
really superstitious?  Do you honestly believe that this horseshoe will
bring you luck?' he replied, `Of course not; but they say it works even
if you don't believe in it.'"
