2. Background Information
Werner Karl Heisenberg
5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976
A German theoretical physicist at Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany
Won Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his addition to the creation of Quantum Mechanics with the application of which has led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of hydrogen
- which is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms. Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element.

3. Quantum Mechanics
Heisenberg built off of Niels Bohr’s theory of the atom.
In 1925, Heisenberg formulated a quantum mechanics based on so called matrixes - something within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes form

4. Uncertainty Principle
The position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously measured with arbitrarily high precision.
There is a minimum for the product of the uncertainties of these two measurements.
There is likewise a minimum for the product of the uncertainties of the energy and time.

5. Uncertainty Principle (cont.)
“The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.” --Heisenberg, uncertainty paper, 1927
