Werner Heisenberg mechanics formulation of quantum mechanics. On 1 May 1926, Heisenberg began his appointment as a university lecturer and assistant to Bohr in Copenhagen. It was in Copenhagen, in 1927, that Heisenberg developed his uncertainty principle, while working on the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. On 23 February, Heisenberg wrote a letter to fellow physicist Wolfgang Pauli, in which he first described his new principle. In his paper on the principle, Heisenberg used the word ""Ungenauigkeit"" (imprecision), not uncertainty, to describe it. In 1927, Heisenberg was appointed "ordentlicher Professor" (professor ordinarius) of theoretical physics and head of the department of physics
Philosophical interpretation of classical physics us some but not all of the information we seek. We then seek to derive further information from series of those experiments in an indirect way. One interpretation of this conundrum is given by Werner Heisenberg in his 1958 book, "Physics and Philosophy,"p. 144f: We can say that physics is a part of science and as such aims at a description and understanding of nature. Any kind of understanding, scientific or not, depends on our language, on the communication of ideas. Every description of phenomena, of experiments and their results, rests upon language as the only means of communication. The
