The World Motivation
The main ingredient of the first quantum revolution, wave-particle duality, has led to inventions such as the transistor and the laser that are at the root of the information society.

The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the world.
You have to kind of embrace the duality of every moment.
Just as we have two eyes and two feet, duality is part of life.
There's a duality in every man and every woman.
Everything I do is a reflection of the duality within me. Musically, I really love things that are very synthetic and unnatural. And I also like the organic and human... the intrinsic, I guess.
I had two parts of my body: my left side, which was strong and somewhat dumb, and the other side was weak and hard to control but perhaps smarter. It gave me a very strong sense of the duality of the plane that we live in.
