Werner Heisenberg, a 23 year old German Theoretical Physicist went to an archipelago to recover from hay fever. Helgoland is an island with no trees, hence no pollen.
There, he discovered a mathematical structure of denoting atomic reality which by itself is some sort of an oddity and yet which tended to compute correct results in predicting the outputs of experiments and now are used in quantum computers and atomic bombs.
One quote from the book, Helgoland by Carlo Rovelli is particularly fascinating because I read the name, Buddha in a book of Quantum Physics.
“
An electron is a particular type of regularity that appears among measurements and observations that we make. It is more pattern than a substance. It is order...Thus we arrive at a strange place. We break things down into smaller and smaller pieces, but then the pieces, when examined, are not there. Just the arrangements of them are. What then, are things, like the boat, or its sails, or your fingernails? What are they? If things are forms of forms of forms of forms, and if forms are order, and order is defined by us..they exist, it would appear, only as created by, and in relation to, us and the Universe. They are, the Buddha might say, emptiness.
