Heisenburg

__**Werner Heisenberg & his Uncertainty Principle**__

In 1932 Heisenberg received the Nobel Peace Prize for his significance in the creation of quantum mechanics. At age 32, he was one of the youngest scientists to receive that honor.

Heisenberg determined that it is impossible to precisely know the position and momentum of an object.

__Uncertainty Principle__: Formulated in 1927, it stated that it is inherently impossible for us to know simultaneously both the exact momentum of the electron and its exact location in space. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics.



= Uncertainty in position = Uncertainty in momentum

During Nazi regime in Germany, Heisenberg was put in charge of the nuclear weapons program for the Nazis. Although he was working with the Nazis his loyalty lied with his country, not the regime.
