In quantum mechanics, it is impossible to know both exactly where you are and exactly where you are going. This idea, known as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, has been a key part of studying the ...

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the nature ...
