Werner Heisenberg (dec 5, 1901 – feb 1, 1976)
Description:
Heisenberg's main contribution to science was finding a way to show quantum mechanics in matrices. Heisenberg thought that the indescribably small numbers that had allowed Bohr to make his theory shouldn't be counted. He believed that the theory should only be based on observable quantities. He used non-commutative multiplication which could be transferred to matrices.Added to timeline:
