1927

• An early attempt of the uncertainty principle appeared in a 1927 paper by Heisenberg, a German physicist who was working at Niels Bohr's institute in Copenhagen at the time, titled "On the Perceptual Content of Quantum Theoretical Kinematics and Mechanics".

Note

• Heisenberg's uncertainty principal states that that you cannot know both the location and the momentum of particles.

1932

• Werner Heisenberg concluded that charged particles bounce photons of light back and forth. This exchange of gives a way for the electromagnetic forces to act between the particles.

• The theory states that a proton shoots a photon at the electron, and the electron shoots a photon back at the proton.

• He proposed a unified field theory which news papers referred to as his “World Theory”.
