Werner Heisenberg was one of the most important physicists of the twentieth century. He was the first to consistently formulate quantum mechanics in 1925. In 1932 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the uncertainty principle which states that it is impossible to specify the exact position and momentum of a particle (tiny piece of matter) at the same time.
His philosophical ponderings on the problem of atoms first began when he saw the illustration of the multiatomic gas molecules in which the atoms were joined into molecules with little “hooks and eyes” in his physics textbook. He said, ...
