His father later became Professor of the Middle and Modern Greek languages in the University of Munich. It was probably due to his influence that Heisenberg remarked, when the ...
Werner Heisenberg. 5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976. Theoretical physicist famed for the quantum uncertainty principle. By Richard Webb. It might seem an obvious statement that there are limits ...
Werner Heisenberg received his Nobel Prize one year later, in 1933. Prize share: 1/1 . Work . In Niels Bohr’s theory of the atom, electrons absorb and emit radiation of fixed wavelengths when jumping between fixed orbits around a nucleus. The theory provided a good description of the spectrum created by the hydrogen atom, but needed to be ...
