Proton and Neutron:
“I’m simply giving you complementarity. We find that nature, with proton and neutron always and only coexisting, by virtue of which the astrophysicist of today has to say that there never could have been anything primordial, that is, something before order-- that there was original chaos and disorder, out of which, surprisingly, order developed. I would say very surprisingly, because it is fundamental to antientropy that order inherently increases, disorder inherently decreases, and it would be completely counter probability that out of inherent disorder there would develop a beautiful human being or a lily. . . So the astrophysicist discovers that we must always have had proton and neutron, always and only coexisting: that we must always have had order. Man was disorderly in his ignorance. We find that fundamental complementarity. . . to have to have two to explain and complement one another, is not an illogical matter.”
