The questions will always surround his career: why did he remain in Germany, and why did he choose physics over ethics? The aftermath of World War I meant economic and political instability in Germany. Fear of communism left the nation in a state of paranoia. Rising inflation put all families in distress. Heisenberg himself was sent to a farm for one summer where he experienced hard labor for the first time. Political instability and general disillusionment also drove him to the youth movement, retreating along with many of Germany's young people. The activities of this youth movement taught Heisenberg to question tradition, a skill that would prove invaluable for his scientific career.

El legado de Rutherford Ernest Rutherford está considerado, con justicia, el padre de la Física Nuclear. Puede decirse que sus trabajos e ideas nos han desvelado un mundo nuevo: el mundo del núcleo atómico. Para hacerse una idea de la notable influencia de sus ideas entre sus contemporáneos basta señalar que la mecánica cuántica, una de las grandes revoluciones científicas de la historia de la Humanidad, fue desarrollada por Niels Bohr (y más tarde por Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Pauli, Dirac y otros) para tratar de hacer estable el átomo de Rutherford. Es de destacar, por otra parte, el liderazgo que ejerció sobre numerosos físicos que habrían de hacer grandes contribuciones al campo de la Física, muchos de ellos distinguidos con el premio Nobel. Para comprender su ideario científico es muy ilustrativo recordar sus propias palabras, pronunciadas en 1923 en una reunión de la British Association for the Advancement of Science: "Estoy cada vez más y más impresionado por el poder del método científico para extender nuestro conocimiento de la Naturaleza. Los experimentos, dirigidos por una imaginación disciplinada o, incluso mejor, por un grupo de individuos que posean diferentes puntos de vista, es capaz de alcanzar resultados que, de lejos, superan la imaginación del más grande filósofo natural. Los experimentos sin imaginación o la imaginación sin el recurso al experimento no llevan a gran cosa pues, para un progreso efectivo, es necesario una feliz combinación de estos dos poderes".

50. Scientist Of The Month One of the youngest winners of a nobel Prize, werner heisenberg wasone of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century. http://www.longman.co.uk/tt_secsci/resources/scimon/july01/heisen.htm

Werner Heisenberg by Peter Ellis One of the youngest winners of a Nobel Prize, Werner Heisenberg was one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century. Yet his reputation was tarnished by working with the Nazis during the Second World War. The young genius Heisenberg was born in Würzburg, Germany in 1901. His father was a Greek scholar who later became a professor at Munich University. Heisenberg himself went to Munich University in 1920 to study physics. By 1923 he had achieved a doctorate and moved on to the University at Göttingen. In 1901, Max Planck had shown that energy comes in small packets called "quanta". In the 1920s Munich and Göttingen were centres for the study of the new science of quantum mechanics. Scientists struggled to deduce the properties of the particles that make up atoms. Heisenberg soon showed that he fully grasped the implications of the new ideas. In 1924 Heisenberg went to study with one of the founders of quantum mechanics, Nils Bohr. He worked out his own mathematical theory that differed from Bohr's. Heisenberg was just 24 years old, yet his ideas had such an effect on physics that he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics just seven years later. Uncertainty

Werner Heisenberg 1953 to 1975 As the first President of the re-established Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Werner Heisenberg, one of the greatest physicists of our century, not only helped to mould the Foundation's principles. He also represented them with vehemence externally. His name vouched for integrity, academic quality and unerringness in human and political judgement. His presidency was seen as a signal in often still sceptical foreign countries. He succeeded in introducing the Foundation's differentiated selection procedure, in which all disciplines and nations enjoy equal status. Professor Heisenberg was born in Würzburg in 1901 and died in Munich in 1976. These dates frame an outstandingly successful life as a scientist. He obtained his doctorate in Munich at the age of 22, qualified as post-doctoral lecturer in Göttingen at 23 and, at the age of only 26, became full professor in theoretical physics at Leipzig. At this age, he formulated the principle of "uncertainty relationship" for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932. Feodor Lynen Wolfgang Paul Reimar Lüst Deutsch ... Search

Exposition Werner Heisenberg - Life and Work from December 5, 2001 to January 7, 2002 at the Max-Planck-Haus Munich World Travel, International Conferences and Physics Nobel Prize (1929-1933) Motto: "To spread out this 'Copenhagen spirit of quantum theory'" (Heisenberg, 1929) In early March 1929 Heisenberg completed a manuscript summarizing two years of efforts to formulate a relativistic quantum field theory. Then he went on a tour to the United States, leading him first to the East Coast - MIT in Boston and Columbia University in New York - and to the University of Chicago, where he delivered a series of lectures on "The Physical Principles of Quantum Theory". With his friend Paul Dirac, who had been staying simultaneosly at the University of Wisconsin, he then went to the West, visiting the Yellowstone National Park and Californian universities. Finally they proceeded to Japan (via Hawaii), where both presented lectures on their recent research in quantum mechanics. Heisenberg finally returned to Leipzig via China and India, while Dirac crossed the Soviet Union and came through Moscow on his way home to Cambridge. The travel round the world increased the reputation of Heisenberg and quantum mechanics enormously: he was invited again to the United States in 1932, and many American and Japanese students and scholars frequented his Leipzig institute. The international conferences of these years in Brussels - Solvay Congresses of 1930 and 1933 - and Rome - on nuclear physics in 1931 - , as well as the elitary meetings at Bohr's institute stimulated Heisenberg's work and propagated his latest theories, e.g., on the structure of atomic nuclei or the description of high-energy elementary particle processes in cosmic radiation.

Please use the navigation bar below to find information about the Program of all celebrations including links to the main events and maps to the different locations in Munich. Werner Heisenberg ( curriculum vitae ) is one of the most outstanding representatives of science in the twentieth century. In 1925 he performed the decisive step to modern quantum physics, and two years later he contributed a central element of its physical interpretation, the uncertainty relation. He achieved further fundamental progress in solid-state, nuclear and elementary-particle theory. After World War II he was quite instrumental in restoring science in West Germany and promoting simultaneously international collaboration in physics, e.g. as co-founder of the European accelerator laboratory CERN at Geneva. Heisenberg also put considerable efforts in bringing closer the contents, language and beauty of modern physics to a wider public.

In 1941 he was appointed the Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics. Heisenberg was drafted by the Nazis to lead the German atomic bomb project. However, unlike the physicists in the Soviet Union or America, he wasn't as optimistic about the feasibility of building a bomb. Near the end of the Second World War, he and other German physicists were taken prisoner by American troops and sent to England. Due to several errors early in their investigation, the German effort was never close to developing an atomic weapon. Heisenberg had spent the entire war working on a nuclear reactor, but had never accomplished a chain reaction.

56. Uncertainty Principle (Werner Heisenberg) The German physicist werner heisenberg (19011976) received the nobel Prizein physics in 1932 for his work in nuclear physics and quantum theory. http://www.thebigview.com/spacetime/uncertainty.html

At a time when Einstein had gained international recognition, quantum theory culminated in the late 1920's statement of the uncertainty principle, which says that the more precisely the position of a particle is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa. The above phrasing of the principle is a succinct version of the mathematically precise uncertainty relation that Heisenberg published in 1927. Since the momentum of a particle is the product of its mass and velocity, the principle is sometimes stated differently, however, its meaning remains the same: The act of measuring one magnitude of a particle, be it its mass, its velocity, or its position, causes the other magnitudes to blur. This is not due to imprecise measurements. Technology is advanced enough to yield hypothetical correct measurements. The blurring of these magnitudes is a fundamental property of nature. Click on this button to hear Heisenberg explaining his uncertainty principle. (.au, 176 kb) The uncertainty relation describes the "blur" between the measurable quantities of a particle in mathematical terms. Like much of the math in quantum theory, it is not for the faint of heart, which is to say it is completely unintelligible to most people. Therefore we restrict ourselves to a brief account on the underlying theories and how they developed into the "Copenhagen Interpretation", which Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg jointly elaborated as a complete and consistent view of quantum mechanics (the Copenhagen Interpretation refers to Bohr's place of birth).

Heisenberg: Quantum Mechanics, Uncertainty Principle, Genius Werner Karl Heisenberg was born on December 5, 1901 in the city of Würzburg in the southern German principality of Bavaria. His parents, Dr. August Heisenberg and Anna (Annie) Heisenberg, married in 1899 after Anna converted from Catholicism to August's Lutheran faith. August was a professor of middle and Modern Greek philology at the University of Munich; Annie was the daughter of a Gymnasium principal and an authority on Greek tragedy. Werner was their second son. Their first son, Erwin, was born in 1900 and later became a chemist. In 1910, when Werner was eight years old, his father was appointed professor of medieval and Modern Greek studies at the University of Munich. Werner moved with his family to Munich, where they settled in the cultural section of Schwanbing. In September 1911 Werner entered the Maximilians-Gymnasium, where his maternal grandfather was principal. A Gymnasium was a nine-year school that prepared students to enter a university before going on to professional careers, such as medicine, law, or academics. After graduating, at the top of his class, Heisenberg went to the University of Munich in 1920. There, Heisenberg studied Einstein’s theory of relativity entirely on his own, but he was less interested in the physics than in pure mathematics. He taught himself calculus simultaneously as he was tutoring a college student for her final exams. During his final oral exams before graduation, Heisenberg gave a demonstration of what he could do by solving the equations of projectile motion with air resistance taken into account. The examiner wrote, “he makes use of infinitesimal calculus and proves that he has already gone far beyond the goal of middle school mathematics.”
