Werner Heisenberg is one of the greatest scientists of our century.
His work extends over a period of fifty years, ranging from
turbulence theory, the establishment of quantum mechanics, its
fundamental applications in atomic and solid state physics, to the
theory of cosmic ray phenomena and of elementary particles. He
recognized early the epistemological significance of the new
discoveries. He was able to place the radical changes in the
foundation of physics of this century in the historical context of
natural philosophy. His thoughts on language as the medium to grasp
scientific truth, artistic truth, religious truth, truth in
general, reached many auditors and readers, scientists as well as
non-scientists. In the 75 years of his life the political and
social structure of his home country, of Europe and the world over
underwent drastic changes. He grew up in Imperial Germany, made his
great contributions to quantum mechanics during the period of the
Weimar Republic and was engaged in nuclear physics when the
potentates of the Third Reich tried to discredit relativity and
quantum theory as "degenerate" science; in World War II he
participated in the German effort to develop a nuclear reactor.
After the war, he devoted himself mainly to the physics of
elementary particles. In addition, he acted in many official
capacities: for the promotion of research, the reconstruction of
science in the Federal Republic of Germany, and the advancement of
international collabora tion."
