==== Werner was **born** on December 5, 1901 in **Würzburg,Germany**. Unfortunately, he **passed** away on February 1, 1976 of cancer. He attended the **University of Munich**, in Germany, to study physics. Using his knowledge, he created **matrix mechanics**, the first version of **quantum mechanics** in 1925. After leaving the University of Munich in 1923, he ventured to **Gottingen** with Max Born to study, then to the **Institute of Theoretical Physics** in Copenhagen with Niels Bohr. ====

==== He mainly studied **physics**, and was actually appointed the **Professor of Physics** at the University of Munich in 1958. Werner soon became interested in plasma physics, atomic physics, and thermonuclear processes. ====

==== One of his most memorable discoveries is the **Uncertainty Principle**. He said this means that electrons do **NOT** travel in neat orbits. Also, all electrons that contain [|photons] will then change momentum and physics. ====

==== Werner's contribution to the atomic theory was that he calculated the **behavior of electrons**, and subatomic particles that also make up an atom. Instead of focusing mainly on scientific terms, this idea brought mathematics more into understanding the **patterns of an atom's electrons**. Werner's discovery helped clarify the modern view of the atom because scientists can compare the actually few numbers of atoms there are, by their **movements of electrons**, and how many electrons an atom contains. Surrounding the outside of an atomic nucleus is an **electron cloud**, which is a name given to the electrons that are widely spreading and moving around. In conclusion, Werner Heisenberg contributed to the atomic theory by including **quantum mechanics**, the branch of mechanics, based on quantum theory, used for interpretating the behavior of elementary particles and atoms. ====
