Birth
Born to Dr. August Heisenberg and his wife Annie Wecklein, in Würzburg, Germany. “The Nobel Prize in Physics 1932.” Nobelprize.org, 1932, www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1932/heisenberg/biographical/. -
Period: to
university Schooling
Young Heisenberg studed Physics and Mathmatics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and Georg-August University of Göttingen. In 1922 he met fellow Physicist Niels Bohr, which left a continuing Impact on Werner. -
Period: to
Studying under the Masters
"During the winter of 1922-1923 he went to Göttingen to study physics under Max Born, Franck, and Hilbert. In 1923 he took his Ph.D. at the University of Munich and then became Assistant to Max Born at the University of Göttingen, and in 1924 he gained the venia legendi at that University." Both Max Born, and Franck would go on to receive Noble Prizes in Physics. “The Nobel Prize in Physics 1932.” Nobelprize.org, 1932, www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1932/heisenberg/biographical/. -
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle
In 1927 that Heisenberg, finished the formulation on what would be called The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This principle states that the greater the precision of a particles position, the lesser precision in its speed. This Principle changed how Physicists view the world, in effect it Ushered in a new Paradigm in both Physics and Philosophy

The Solvay Conference
This Picture is considered to be by some the most intelligent Picture ever taken, 17 of the 29 people here had won or will win Nobel Prizes, and the sole woman in the Picture won two in two different disciple. Heisenberg, Einstein, Bohr, Schrodinger are a few of the ones pictured.

The Nobel Prize
In 1933 Young Heisenburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his Uncertainty Principle, Unfortunately this was the year that the Nazi Party took over Germany, as his work was not considered 'Deutsche Physik’, he suffered a lot of defamation.

The Nobel Prize continued
Prize motivation: "for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, inter alia, led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of hydrogen." “The Nobel Prize in Physics 1932.” Nobelprize.org, 1932, www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1932/heisenberg/biographical/. -
Later in Life
During World War II, Heisenburg worked for the Nazi's atomic bomb project, unable to match the Allies abilities, he was eventually "rescued" by the Allies and rounded up with other German Scientists Cavendish, Lee. “Heroes of Space: Werner Heisenberg | Space Facts – Astronomy, the Solar System & Outer Space | All About Space Magazine.” Space Facts Astronomy the Solar System Outer Space All About Space Magazine, 29 Aug. 2018, www.spaceanswers.com/astronomy/heroes-of-space-werner-heisenberg/. -
Death
After Many years of teaching throughout Europe, Werner Heisenberg, Passed away, Leaving a big hole in the Physics, and Philosophic realms.
