Werner Heisenberg

Werner Heisenberg was a German physicist best known for his contributions to quantum mechanics, particularly the Uncertainty Principle. This principle states that the more precisely we know a particle's position, the less precisely we can know its momentum, and vice versa. This concept challenges traditional views of physics, highlighting the inherent limitations in measuring tiny particles like electrons. Heisenberg's work laid the foundation for understanding atomic and subatomic behavior, influencing fields like nuclear physics and electromagnetism, ultimately transforming our understanding of the universe at its most fundamental levels.
