Werners brith date
Werner Heisenberg contributed to atomic theory by formulating quantum mechanics in terms of matrices and in discovering the uncertainty principle, which states that a particle's position and momentum cannot both be known exactly.https://youtu.be/NYZOKCzhljo -
Uncertainty Principle
In February 1927, the young Werner Heisenberg developed an essential piece of quantum theory, the uncertainty principle, with profound implications. He also worked on the theory of the atomic nucleus following the discovery of the neutron in 1932, developing a model of proton and neutron interaction in an early description of what decades later came to be known as the strong force.

Nobel Peace prize
Heisenberg's name will always be associated with his theory of quantum mechanics, published in 1925 when he was only 23. For this theory and its applications, which resulted primarily in the discovery of allotropic forms of hydrogen, Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1932/heisenberg/facts/ -
Elizabeth Schumacher
In January 1937, Heisenberg met Elisabeth Schumacher (1914–1998) at a private music recital. Elisabeth was the daughter of a well-known Berlin economics professor, and her brother was the economist E. F. Schumacher, author of Small Is Beautiful. Heisenberg married her on 29 April. -
Werners death
Heisenberg died of kidney cancer at his home, on 1 February 1976.
