The entire universe must, on a very accurate level, be regarded as a single indivisible unit in which separate parts appear as idealisations permissible only on a classical level of accuracy of description. This means that the view of the world being analogous to a huge machine, the predominant view from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, is now shown to be only approximately correct. The underlying structure of matter, however, is not mechanical. This means that the term "quantum mechanics" is very much a misnomer. It should, perhaps, be called "quantum non-mechanics". - David Bohm, Quantum Theory (1951)

“I was not very good in high school. I did all kinds of other things. You could say I was a bit of a rebel. But if you're not a rebel, you aren't questioning anything. If you have a curious mind and a rebellious character, you can be a good researcher even if your grades are not so good. I am the living proof of that!” At today's Nobel Prize Teacher Summit, chemistry laureate Morten Meldal spoke about the advantages of being a rebellious researcher. Meldal was awarded the 2022 chemistry prize for the development of click chemistry.
