He drills the epistemological analogy between experiments with non commuting operators in qm and the restrictions on how much we can study of life and culture, which is interesting, to be sure, but I feel like it isn’t a wonderfully insightful way of describing either atomic physics or human knowledge and it gets repetitive. His use of complementarity and classical descriptions of experiments seems unnecessarily cumbersome. But I can’t fault him much since there’s been a century of refining the formalism of the theory.
Overall, geat to see how Bohr thought about the physics and some nice little insight into the founding of qm
