Heisenberg studied physics and math. His scientific contributions included pioneering the theory of quantum mechanics, publishing the uncertainty principle and theories in hydrodynamics of turbulent flows, the atomic nucleus, subatomic particles, and more. All of which granted him 7 awards to include the Nobel Prize in 1932. “Werner Heisenberg.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., https://www.britannica.com/biography/Werner-Heisenberg.

According to the attached video, positional items have significant momentum with short wavelengths that can't be detected. Small objects have significantly large wavelengths, are easier to detect but lacks position. Hence why you cannot know both position and speed of an object at the same time. “What Is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? - Chad Orzel.” TED, TED-Ed, https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-is-the-heisenberg-uncertainty-principle-chad-orzel.
