 Heisenberg was not a member of the Nazi Party, and his relationship with the regime was complicated, as he tried to navigate the difficult political landscape of the time.[([[https://physicsworld.com/a/werner-heisenberg-controversial-scientist/|physicsworld]])]
+===== Escape from Prosecution =====
+In 1937, Heisenberg was attacked in the Nazi press by SS official Heinrich Himmler for teaching "Jewish" physics but managed to avoid persecution after appealing to Himmler.[([[https://www.ptb.de/cms/fileadmin/internet/ueber_uns/geschichte_der_ptb/Die_PTR_im_dritten_Reich/The_Rise_and_fall_of_an_Aryan_Physicist.pdf|ptb]])]
+===== Operation Epsilon =====
+Heisenberg was one of the scientists detained in Operation Epsilon, during which he famously miscalculated the critical mass for an atomic bomb.[([[https://www.quora.com/Was-sabotage-by-Heisenberg-a-reason-for-the-German-atomic-bomb-failure|quora]])]
+===== Heisenberg’s Lectures =====
+Heisenberg was known for his clear and engaging lectures, which inspired a generation of physicists.[([[https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1992/04/23/the-uncertain-scientist/|nybooks]])]
+===== Heisenberg and the Nazi Regime =====
+Heisenberg’s career during the Nazi era remains a complex and debated topic, with some viewing him as a patriot who tried to protect German science, while others see him as morally compromised.[([[https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-most-dangerous-possible-german|thenewatlantis]])]
+===== Max Born's Influence =====
+Heisenberg’s mentor, Max Born, was a significant influence on his early work, particularly in the development of quantum mechanics.[([[https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200802/physicshistory.cfm|aps]])]
+===== Personal Philosophy =====
+Heisenberg believed that reality was not fully comprehensible and that quantum mechanics revealed the limits of human knowledge.[([[https://en.unav.edu/web/ciencia-razon-y-fe/puede-la-ciencia-ofrecer-una-explicacion-ultima-de-la-realidad|unav]])]
+===== Heisenberg's Influence on Technology =====
+The principles of quantum mechanics, pioneered by Heisenberg, underpin much of modern technology, including semiconductors, lasers, and quantum computers.[([[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377416159_Quantum_Computing_A_revolutionary_computing_capability_to_sift_through_huge_numbers_of_possibilities_and_extract_potential_solutions_to_complex_problems|researchgate]])]
+===== Heisenberg and Quantum Field Theory =====
+Heisenberg also made contributions to the development of quantum field theory, which describes the quantum behavior of fields, like the electromagnetic field.[([[https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/quantum-field-theory/|stanford]])]
+===== Relationship with Max Planck =====
+Heisenberg had great respect for Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, and was influenced by his ideas.[([[https://physicsworld.com/a/werner-heisenberg-controversial-scientist/|physicsworld]])]
+===== Heisenberg's Impact on Education =====
+Heisenberg’s textbooks and lectures have had a lasting impact on the way quantum mechanics is taught.[([[https://physics.mcmaster.ca/phys3mm3/notes/FelixBlochPhysTodayDec1976b.pdf|mcmaster]])]
+===== Heisenberg’s Role in German Science =====
+After the war, Heisenberg played a crucial role in rebuilding German science, advocating for peaceful research.[([[https://cns.gatech.edu/~predrag/projects/CopenhagenPlay/index.html|gatech]])]
+===== Heisenberg and Relativity =====
+While he is best known for his work in quantum mechanics, Heisenberg also made contributions to the theory of relativity.[([[https://study.com/learn/lesson/werner-heisenberg-theories.html|study]])]
+===== Asteroid Named After Him =====
+An asteroid discovered in 1973 was named 13149 Heisenberg in his honor.[([[https://se-database.fandom.com/wiki/Heisenberg|se]])]
+===== Heisenberg's Legacy in Mathematics =====
+Heisenberg’s work also had significant implications in mathematics, particularly in the field of linear algebra.[([[https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/20/9/656|mdpi]])]
+===== Final Years =====
+In his later years, Heisenberg reflected on the moral implications of science and technology, advocating for responsible scientific research that benefits humanity.[([[https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-91597-1_4|springer]])]
