The life of Werner Hiesenberg
One of Werner Heisenberg's great achievements was his work on Über den anschaulichen Inhalt der quantentheoretischen Kinematik und Mechanik. Z. Physik (“On the Perceptual Content of Quantum Theoretical Kinematics and Mechanics”) Which I'll get into more detail here is that citation.
Heisenberg, W. Über den anschaulichen Inhalt der quantentheoretischen Kinematik und Mechanik. Z. Physik 43, 172–198 (1927). https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01397280 -
Birth
Born the 5th of December his father was Dr. August Heisenberg, and his mother was Annie Weklein His father later became a professor of middle and modern Greek languages at the University of Munich. Werner Heisenberg went to the Maximilian school of Munich studying physics and later he went to the University of Munich to get his Ph.D. (4) -
Published Uncertainty Principle
In his paper “Über den anschulichen Inhalt der quantentheoretischen Kinematik und Mechanik” (“On the Perceptual Content of Quantum Theoretical Kinematics and Mechanics”), Heisenberg stated that a particle couldn't be measured or given an exact point. With both points are linked inversely making the ability to casually determine both impossible since you would need both starting positions to determine the current position and speed. (1) (2) -
