| German physicist Werner Heisenberg is best known for his discovery of the uncertainty principle. This principle states that it is impossible to measure the exact position and the momentum of a given body at the same time. Heisenberg was a leader in the emerging field of quantum theory, and his work earned him the 1932 Nobel Prize in physics. | ||||||
