Werner Karl Heisenberg Born
Werner Heisenberg was born to Kasper Ernst August Heisenberg and his wife Annie Wecklein in Würzburg, Germany. -
Quantum Mechanics and the "Three-man Paper"
During this time Werner worked with Max Born and Pascual Jordan to submit Quantum-Theoretical Reinterpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relations, and "Zur Quantenmechanik I and II" (On Quantum Mechanics I and II) -
On the Perceptual Content of Quantum Theoretical Kinematics and Mechanics
On this date, Werner published his landmark paper highlighting the uncertainty principle. Which had many effects, among them it helped Werner to come to a conclusion that absolute casual determinism was impossible. Description of the Uncertainty Principle.

Nobel Prize in Physics
Werner was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work to unite the Quantum Field Theory with the Relativity Theory, as well as his work in developing a model of proton and neutron interaction later known as "Strong Force". The award was given in 1933 rather than 1932. -
Nuclear Research in World War II
Werner was named Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for physics in Germany, and this was a leading researcher towards Germany's attempt on a nuclear reactor, or atomic bomb. This was largely because there was little international collaboration, and a shortage of resources. -
Creation of CERN
Werner was a key member of the research groups which merged to form and creat CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire or the European Organization for Nuclear Research). Without this important step, we would not have the Large Hadron Collider which has been a boon of scientific research and discovery. -
Passed away in his Home
Werner passed away in his home February 1st of 1976, just 6 years after retiring, from complications related to cancer of the kidneys and gall bladder. He was 74 years old.
