December 5, 1901- February 1, 1976
Heisenberg attended the University of Munich and received his Ph.D. in Physics.

He stated that it is impossible to determine the position and momentum of a particle because the methods used to observe the particle (short wave radiation bounced off the particle) affect its behavior. In doing so he established a central principle of quantum mechanics.
His work earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932.
