Werner Heisenberg (12/05/1901) - (02/01/1976)
After studying for his degree in physics at the University of Munich and Gottingen under Sommerfeld, Wien, Pringsheim, Rosenthal, and Max Born; Heisenberg gained his Ph.D. and Venia Legendi (authorization to teach). In 1924, he worked alongside Niels Bohr at the University of Copenhagen. Werner Heisenberg – Facts. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Prize Outreach AB 2022.

Werner Heisenberg (12/05/1901) - (02/01/1976)
While working at the University of Copenhagen, Heisenberg along with Max Born and Pascual Jordan created and replaced Bohr's model by stating that quantum mechanics are based on matrices. This theoretical discovery emerged in the finding of allotropic forms of hydrogen. This was later called Matrix mechanics. Werner Heisenberg – Biographical. NobelPrize.org.

Werner Heisenberg (12/05/1901) - (02/01/1976)
Two years later, Heisenberg introduced his revolutionary discovery which was called the Principle of Uncertainty. This principle stated that it is impossible to determine the momentum and position of a particle. At this time, He was also appointed Lecturer in Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen and Leipzig. Werner Heisenberg – Biographical. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Prize Outreach AB 2022.

Werner Heisenberg (12/05/1901) - (02/01/1976)
In 1932, Werner Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics because his discoveries led to the finding of hydrogen allotropic forms. He contributed to philosophy because he developed the first coherent mathematical formalism for quantum theory (Heisenberg 1925).
