  1. Apr 23, 2024 · Werner Heisenberg contributed to atomic theory through formulating quantum mechanics in terms of matrices and in discovering the uncertainty principle, which states that a particle’s position and momentum cannot both be known exactly.

  2. Werner Karl Heisenberg ( pronounced [ˈvɛʁnɐ kaʁl ˈhaɪzn̩bɛʁk] ⓘ; 5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) [2] was a German theoretical physicist, one of the main pioneers of the theory of quantum mechanics, and a principal scientist in the Nazi nuclear weapons program during World War II.

  3. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, developed by physicist Werner Heisenberg, states that there is an inherent limitation to how precisely we can know both the position and the momentum—or energy—of a particle at a given time.

  4. Oct 8, 2001 · The uncertainty principle played an important role in many discussions on the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics, in particular in discussions on the consistency of the so-called Copenhagen interpretation, the interpretation endorsed by the founding fathers Heisenberg and Bohr.

  6. Atomic theory is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms. The definition of the word "atom" has changed over the years in response to scientific discoveries.

  7. Jun 19, 2021 · Heisenberg developed a mathematical way of expressing the energy levels of electrons in atoms. His theory states that there is uncertainty in measuring such features of a particle as the position and momentum of an electron are hard to predict.
