About Werner Heisenberg
Werner Karl Heisenberg (5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) was a German theoretical physicist, one of the main pioneers of the theory of quantum mechanics, and a principal scientist in the Nazi nuclear weapons program during World War II. He published his Umdeutung paper in 1925, a major reinterpretation of old quantum theory. In the subsequent series of papers with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, during the same year, his matrix formulation of quantum mechanics was substantially elaborated. He is known for the uncertainty principle, which he published in 1927. Heisenberg was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the creation of quantum mechanics".

[F]rom all that has been said about modern science... modern physics is just one... but... characteristic, part of a general historical process... toward a unification and a widening of our... world. This... would... lead to a diminution of... cultural and political tensions that create the great danger... But... forces in the existing cultural communities... try to ensure for their traditional values the largest... role in the final state of unification... and thereby adds to the instability of the transient state. Modern physics... shows that the use of arms... would be disastrous, and... through it openness for all... concepts it raises the hope that in the final state of unification many different cultural traditions may live together and... combine different human endeavors into a new... balance between thought and deed, between activity and meditation.
