    Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976): Theory of Quantum Mechanics Published
    July 1925 - Heisenberg publishes his revolutionary paper on quantum relations, suggesting a theory of quantum mechanics based strictly on observable data, citing numerous flaws in the prevailing theories at the time. Heisenberg, W.. “A quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations.” European Physical Journal A 33: 879-893. Atom Cliparts #16763.

  • Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976): Uncertainty Principle

    Heisenberg publishes his second major paper, introducing his famous Uncertainty Principle, establishing a relationship between position and velocity of light/electron particles.

    Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976): Nobel Prize in Physics
    Heisenberg is awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics for his published work in quantum mechanical theory, in November, 1933. Erwin Schrodinger and P.A.M. Dirac were also awarded Nobel Prizes that year. Beyler, Richard. Werner Heisenberg. Encyclopædia Britannica, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Werner-Heisenberg. Accessed December 27, 2020.
