  • Introduction of Heisenberg

    Werner Karl Heisenberg was born on December 05 1901 on Thursday at 4:45 pm in Germany Munich. Heisenberg came from the hard working middle-class in Germany. He was loved playing the piano, and was extremely gifted in mathematics. Heisenberg married his wife Elizabeth Schumacher in 1937 and had seven children. Heisenberg died on January 02 1976 of cancer at the age of 74.

  • Heisenberg in the 1920

    Heisenberg graduated from Munich’s Maximilians-Gymnasium in the summer of 1920 and then went to the University of Munich. During the first two years at the University Heisenberg, he published four physics research papers, three of the papers covered atomic spectroscopy, and one covering hydrodynamics. Heisenberg was only 20 years old at the time and his papers launched him into the forefront of quantum atomic physics.

  • Heisenberg and Quantum Mechanics. Part 1

    In 1925 Heisenberg made his most important contribution to the scientific community, he published his mathematical foundation to quantum mechanics. Heisenberg found that when humans try and measure a particle that we alter it in one way or another. Heisenberg said that a “humans are the creators of their own reality.” This was a brand new way of looking at physic and a scientific breakthrough. With the help of Max Born they came up with the mathematical formula of quantum mechanical phenomenon.

  • Heisenberg and Quantum Mechanics. Part 2

    . In 1927 Heisenberg uncertainty principle came to fruition and is one of the most important rules of quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states you can’t know the simultaneously know the exact position and seep of a particle. The uncertainty is explanation of measurement, the act of measuring an object changes it speed or position. Heisenberg uncertainly principle theory sates everything acts as a particle and a wave at the same time.

  • Heisenberg and Quantum Mechanics. Part 3

    A particle can be measured at certain place and waves are disturbance that can be measured to see how fast the particle is going. Heisenberg found that you can measure between the wavelength at the peeks or slopes to find and objects momentum. To find a objects positions and momentum you have to combine both into a graph and only in one full wavelength. By combining waves with different wavelengths in the same wavelength box you get the possibility of having the particle in the one wave packet.

  • Heisenberg and Quantum Mechanics. Part 4

    Taking the average of all the wavelengths till you find they best possibility of where the particle can be. This becomes the quantum object with both momentum and position, but in making the quantum object we lose certainty. Due to using so many wavelengths we don’t have an exact momentum or position because they are an average of all of them in a wave packet. So the partial can be anywhere in the wave packet with a variation of momentum, making them both uncertain.

  • Heisenberg in the 1930's

    . In 1927 Heisenberg became a professor and started to teaching theoretical physics at Leipzig University. In 1932 he received a Nobel Prize for his work in creating quantum mechanics.

  • WWII and Heisenberg part 1

    During the WWII most scientist in Germany left the county out of fear of the Nazi rule, but Heisenberg stayed. He was criticized for working for the Nazi but was also was an outcast for his background of having Jewish blood, they Germans called his work “Jewish physics”. He was isolated socially and academically during the war. The discovery of nuclear fission made modern physics a top priority for the Nazi government and drafted Heisenberg and other top scientist into the uranium project.

  • WWII and Heisenberg part 2

    Heisenberg became the top scientist in the uranium project, but the Nazi were unable to build a atomic bomb, there is a lot of debate on why the Nazi government were unable to build the boom. Some conspiracy theories say Heisenberg actively sabotage the development of the bomb, other say he lacked the scientific competence, or that they lacked the financial funding and technological problems.
