  • Privatdozen

    Privatdozen
    At 23 years old, He became Privatdozen at Gottingen. This tittle is given to unpaid teachers or professors who have been determined to posses the necessary qualifications to teach on a particular subject.
  • Uncertainty

    Uncertainty
    Werner Heisenberg developed the Uncertainty Principle while studying the Measurement problem. the Measurement Problem is the connection between the wave and the particle nature of quantum objects. The Uncertainty Principle states "The position and velocity cannot be measured, exactly, at the same time.
  • Nobel prize

    Nobel prize
    The Nobel Committee for Physics awarded Werner Heisenberg "for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, inter alia, led to the discovery the the allotropic forms of hydrogen." Heisenberg was awarded the prize a year late because the committee decided that, no one in 1932 met the criteria for the award. His work was a huge step in the nuclear field.
  • Uranium club

    Uranium club
    Building on his Uncertainty Principle and forming matrices for quantum physics, he provided a huge contribution to atomic theory. After becoming a member of the Uranium Club, he worked to develop Germanys atomic bomb. This theory led to the Atomic model and fueled the nuclear arms race in World War II. https://youtu.be/CNOeHANMshQ
