Werner Heisenberg

"Science no longer is in the position of observer of nature, but rather recognizes itself as part of the interplay between man and nature. The scientific method ... changes and transforms its object: the procedure can no longer keep its distance from the object." ~ Werner Heisenberg (1960)

Say his name: Werner Heisenberg.

A century after the quantum revolution, a lot of uncertainty remains.

The three Titans of quantum mechanics: (L-R) Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger at the Stockholm Railway Station, c. 1933.

Werner Heisenberg, German physicist and philosopher who discovered (1925) a way to formulate quantum mechanics in terms of matrices. For that discovery, he was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize for Physics. In 1927 he published his uncertainty principle, upon which he built his philosophy and for which he is best known.

Only many understand, what quantity one should understand to grasp however toddler is aware of. What we tend to observe isn't nature itself, however nature exposed to our methodology of questioning. Not solely is that the Universe unknown than we expect, it's unknown than we will assume. When I meet God, i'm about to raise him 2 questions: Why theory of relativity ? And why turbulence ? i actually believe he can have a solution for the primary. After the conversations regarding Indian…
