(1) He borrows this idea from quantum mechanics and the work of the physicist Niels Bohr on wave-particle duality .(2) There is an overriding theme to this mural, and that is one of duality .(3) After the brief bit of prophecy, Watts homes in on the theme of duality that crops up in most of his books and speeches, a result of his understanding of Eastern religions.(4) There's way too much duality built-in to such a scheme.(5) The implication of moving from limbo to salvation again emphasises the show's duality and the importance to so many of the idea that a country's borders might provide sanctuary.(6) It is time we got out of a mindset that encourages duality of standards.(7) It is impossible not to get lost in Watt's paradoxically neat tangle of ideas - whether it's her dialogue with Ingres or the almost alarming duality of photorealistic illusion and sheer physicality.(8) The doctoral thesis of Louis de Broglie was presented which extended the particle-wave duality for light to all particles, in particular to electrons.(9) But our poem's horizon expanded far beyond this confined duality to embrace the universal, the human, as well as the intimate and personal.(10) Hedwig is a figure of duality , spanning two sexes.(11) A positive answer to the above question involves a reliance upon some kind of mind/body duality that can be easily challenged philosophically.(12) This was the beginning of the idea known as particle-wave duality , and the field of quantum mechanics.(13) He sparkled at us and talked of duality in our lives; children versus stardom, the scriptures versus the internet.(14) Although not fully appreciated at the time, Einstein's work on the quantum nature of light was the first step towards establishing the wave-particle duality of quantum particles.(15) this duality of purpose was discernible in the appointments(16) There is a precedent for this duality in leadership.
