"One can give good reasons why reality cannot at all be represented by
a continuous field. From the quantum phenomenon it appears to follow
with certainty that a finite system of finite energy can be completely
described in terms of a finite set of numbers (quantum numbers). This
does not seem to be in accordance with a continuum theory, and must
lead to an attempt to find a purely algebraic theory for the
description of reality. But nobody knows how to find the basis for
such a theory"
