Having shown a great deal of aptitude for his field of study, Heisenberg was introduced to Neils Bohr by his professor. This meeting helps inspire Heisenberg to continue his scientific career.

After 3 years of studying in Munich, Heisenberg graduates and earned his Ph.D

After becoming the assistant to Max Born, Eisenberg moved on to complete his habilitation* a very impressive feat to have accomplished by the age of 23. *A qualification required in order to conduct self-contained university teaching found in various countries, but not the US

The uncertainty principle is a fundamental rule of quantum mechanics that states that when measuring particles we can only know either the location or the speed and never both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQKELOE9eY4

Under the citation, "for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, inter alia, led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of hydrogen." Werner Heisenberg was nominated this prestigious award. Though initially met with stern opposition, even from the likes of Einstein, his publications and Uncertainty Principle ushered in a new era of quantum physics. The award was not given until 1933.

This is what sparked much of the controversy around Werner

Under the name, "Operation Epsilom" Heisenberg and nine other scientists were captured by the Allied Forces and were specifically targeted for working on Nazi nuclear research. They were placed together in a bugged facility to see how close the Nazi party was to creating nukes.
