Werner Heisenberg, born in the dawn of the twentieth century became one

of its greatest physicists; he is also among its most controversial.

While still in his early twenties, he was among the handful of bright,

young men who created quantum mechanics, the basic physics of the atom,

and he became a leader of nuclear physics and elementary particle

research. He is best known for his uncertainty principle, a component

of the so-called Copenhagen interpretation of the meaning, and uses of

Through his successful life, he lived through two lost World Wars,

Soviet Revolution, military occupation, two republics, political unrest,

and Hitler's Third Reich. He was not a Nazi, and like most scientists

of his day he tried not to become involved in politics. He played a

prominent role in German nuclear testing during the World War II era.

At age twenty-five he received a full professorship and won the Nobel

Prize in Physics in 1932 at the age of thirty-two. He climbed quickly

to the top of his field beginning at the University of Munich when his

interest in theoretical physics was sparked
