  • WERNER HEISENBERG

    WERNER HEISENBERG
    Werner Heisenberg was born Dec. 5, 1906 and passed away on Feb. 1, 1976. Werner Heisenberg was a German philosopher and physicist (Beyler, 2020).

  • HEISENBERG'S CONTRIBUTIONS

    Werner Heisenberg had made 2 key contributions to the field of science. He is often considered the founder of Quantum Physics which occurred when he published his paper in July of 1925. 2 years later, Heisenberg gave way to the Uncertainty Principle that was published in March of 1927 which furthered the concepts of Quantum Physics.

  • NOBEL PRIZE

    Because of his contributions and efforts in Quantum Theory and the Uncertainty Principle Werner Heisenberg won the Nobel Prize in Physics in the year of 1932. The following video discusses the principal: https://youtu.be/PZIoFD_Z73M

  • Uncertainty Principle

    Uncertainty Principle
    The Uncertainty Principle created the basis for Quantum Physics. Through this became a theory for everything, as Quantum Physics can explain anything (Webb, 2020). Being able to understand how atoms behave through the use of Heisenberg's principle was able to help advance the fields of chemistry and biology.
