Werner Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933 for his role in the further refinements of quantum mechanics, the fundamental branch of physics that Max Planck pioneered earlier. Heisenberg conceived the 'uncertainty principle' that ensures that the future behavior of that system can never be completely predicted.

The nuclear reactor was buried beneath the North end of Lange Horst wood an area which is now enroached by public housing development. On January 3rd, 1945 the British brought Prof Werner Heisenberg to the site to interrogate him about the Nazi project. Nowhere in our history books or his autobiography did Heisenberg ever mention this."
He received his PhD under Kurt Diebner and Werner Heisenberg, both of whom were interned at Farm Hall and neither of whom, according to Goudsmit and the conventional history, knew beans about how to actually build an atomic bomb or nuclear weapon.
• Werner Heisenberg's group never even got close to producing a nuclear weapon. (If Picker was correct, it unquestionably means that the conventional postwar history was deliberately lying and used misdirection to point subsequent readers to Heisenberg's more peripheral and less successful branch of the overall nuclear program. -- WP)
Winterberg, who is still living as of this writing, was brought to the United States as part of Operation Paperclip immediately upon completing his PhD in 1959 under the supervision of Kurt Diebner and Werner Heisenberg, neither of whom---we were vigorously assured by Samuel Goudsmit, Leslie Groves, Boris Pash, George Eckman, and others---knew ...
In the 20th century its faculty of physics included the Nobel Prize winners Max Born, James Franck, Werner Heisenberg, and Max von Laue, who were responsible for some of the most important discoveries and developments in modern physics.
Mar 17, 2011. #1. I recently read somewhere that it was Nazi scientists that first discovered the link between tobacco use and lung cancer. I found that interesting. Germany had the world's strongest anti smoking movement in the 1930s and early 1940s under Hitler. The Nazis had surprisingly enlightened ideas about cigarettes such as banning ...
A covert agent sent to take out Heisenberg ended up Not killing him after having a long talk with him and Heisenberg venting his frustration over the German high commands, abandonment of the project, and in that talk Heisenberg revealed that the reactor explosion had convinced him that a nuclear bomb was not possible with current technology.
Werner Schwietzke, late of the heereswaffenamt and its ultracentrifuge machinery, ended up in Australia, where I am certain he was another major figure in the development of the postwar UK nuclear arsenal. Erich Schumann and Walter Trinks filed numerous nuclear weapon patents in France in the early 1950s, and Kurt Diebner did the same in the UK ...
