Werner Heisenberg Birth
Werner was born December 5, 1901 in Würzburg, Germany -
Education of Heisenberg
He attained his Ph.D. in Physics while attending the University of Munich. Due to his success in acheving his Ph.D, he was then able to make advancements to the German atomic program during World War II. -
principle and theory
He broadcasted his principle and theory of quantum mechanics, which was based around the ideal of the complex format of the hydrogen atom. The whole reason behind this theory was due to the fact that the size of the particle was mistaken when the event of a wavelength of light hit a particle in the atom. -
-
Nobel Prize
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1932 for a comparable discovery of the quantum mechanics. With this discovery he was able to emerge the revolution of the allotropic forms of hydrogen. Which then resulted in being presented the Nobel prize for an absolute solid foundation the same year. -
The War
His sole purpose was to inquire about nuclear research with his collogue Niels Bohr in the time of WW2. Little did he know that in the time and place that he would then be questioned on how to use his information to possibly create a weapon of mass destruction. Even though he had the knowledge he was certain the weapon would not be built in time due to the lack of financial aid and work force. -
The war is almost over
Prior to the ending of World War 2, Werner and a few other physicists was held in captivity by US troops. He was held prisoner for the wrong reason. Indeed, he had spent most of the war working on a nuclear reactor, however the end result was not what he was looking for. He then went to hold a director position at Max Planck Institute at Göttingen -
Death
Due to Heisenberg having kidney cancer, his death occurred February 1, 1976
