Discovered a way to formulate quantum mechanics in terms of matrices.
-
This principle was one of Heisenberg's most famous works. It states that you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object. Everything in the universe behaves both like a particle and a wave at the same time. We can calculate the location of a particle and also the momentum of a wave but in order to put them together we can only find the estimate of the possible area in which the two will meet.

Awarded for his discovery of the quantum mechanics theory.

Heisenberg, along with other German physicists, were taken to England by American troops during the Second World War for protection and to continue their work.
