In fact the smallest units of matter are not physical objects in the ordinary sense they are forms, ideas which can be expressed unambiguously only in mathematical language". and that "Modern physics has definitely decided in favor of Plato. Heisenberg later stated that "My mind was formed by studying philosophy, Plato and that sort of thing". He recounted philosophical conversations with his fellow students and teachers about understanding the atom while receiving his scientific training in Munich, Göttingen and Copenhagen. In his late teenage years, Heisenberg read Plato's Timaeus while hiking in the Bavarian Alps. Heisenberg was raised and lived as a Lutheran Christian. His father was a secondary school teacher of classical languages who became Germany's only ordentlicher Professor (ordinarius professor) of medieval and modern Greek studies in the university system. Werner Karl Heisenberg was born in Würzburg, Germany, to Kaspar Ernst August Heisenberg, and his wife, Annie Wecklein. Heisenberg was also president of the German Research Council, chairman of the Commission for Atomic Physics, chairman of the Nuclear Physics Working Group, and president of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
He then became director of the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics from 1960 to 1970. He was director of the institute until it was moved to Munich in 1958. He was also instrumental in planning the first West German nuclear reactor at Karlsruhe, together with a research reactor in Munich, in 1957.įollowing World War II, he was appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics, which soon thereafter was renamed the Max Planck Institute for Physics. He was a principal scientist in the German nuclear weapons program during World War II. Heisenberg also made contributions to the theories of the hydrodynamics of turbulent flows, the atomic nucleus, ferromagnetism, cosmic rays, and subatomic particles. Heisenberg was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the creation of quantum mechanics". He is known for the uncertainty principle, which he published in 1927.

In the subsequent series of papers with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, during the same year, his matrix formulation of quantum mechanics was substantially elaborated. He published his work in 1925 in a major breakthrough paper. Werner Karl Heisenberg ( pronounced ( listen) 5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) was a German theoretical physicist and one of the main pioneers of the theory of quantum mechanics.
