    Werner Heisenberg- Dec 5,1901-Feb 1, 1976
    Werner Heisenberg published his uncertainty principle during 1927. Within this principle he stated that the location and velocity of a particle cannot be measure at the exact same time. The more you know about a particles location or position the less you will know about that particles velocity, and vice versa. Link text

    Werner Heisenberg- Dec 5,1901-Feb 1, 1976
    Werner Heisenberg was German physicist that is most well known for his theory of quantum mechanics published in 1925. He published his theory at the young age of twenty-three. Because of his theory and its applications, allotropic forms of hydrogen were discovered. Due to this, Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics during 1932. Reference:
