Max Von Laue Quotes

In the beginning was mechanics Picture Quote #1

Notwithstanding these major arguments the wave theory initially did not meet with complete acceptance Picture Quote #1

$With crystals we are in a situation similar to an attempt to investigate an optical grating merely from the spectra it produces... But a knowledge of the positions and intensities of the spectra does not suffice for the determination of the structure. The phases with which the diffracted waves vibrate relative to one another enter in an essential way. To determine a crystal structure on the atomic scale, one must know the phase differences between the different interference spots on the photographic plate, and this task may certainly prove to be rather difficult Picture Quote #1$

For as long as one has no further point of reference, apart from the position of the maximum, the wavelength thus remains uncertain by an integral factor Picture Quote #1
