Gary Holt and the atom bomb

Bear with me ...

Just watched a film called "Copenhagen" about physics, metaphysics and the relationship between the two great physicists, Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg who worked together in the 20s. Hiesenberg ends up back in Germany as the head of the Nazi nuclear programme and Bohr later worked at Los Alamos. Hiesenberg comes to visit Bohr in occupied Denmark to ask him a moral question about the development of nuclear fission; this ends their friendship. Later, after the war, Hiesenberg again visits Bohr and while attempting to explain the Uncertainty Principle uses an example where he is the observer; Bohr is an neutron and night time Copenhagen is a darkened smoke chamber. And by way of explanation, he says (referring to Bohr) "he's here, he's there, he's everywhere". To which I couldn't help but add "Gary Holt! Gary Holt!".

To illustrate the greater understanding of the ordinary mortal, later Bohr's wifes add's to the original "he's nowhere"
