In 1923 Werner Heisenberg tried to "determine the precise transition of a smoothly flowing fluid (laminar flow) to turbulent flow"

"Very roughly, it states that if we know everything about where a particle is located (the uncertainty of position is small), we know nothing about its momentum (the uncertainty of momentum is large), and vice versa." (Ling para1) Watch this for more:

"Heisenberg also worked on the theory of the atomic nucleus following the discovery of the neutron in 1932, developing a model fo proton and neutron interaction in an early description of what decades later came to be known as the strong force" (Beyler, para 8) Beyler, Richard. “Werner Heisenberg.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 28 May 2020, www.britannica.com/biography/Werner-Heisenberg.
