The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle is part of the foundations of Quantum Mechanics and is still considered to be valid today. It means there is a fundamental fuzziness or uncertainty about the world at the quantum level. Even in principle we cannot know to high accuracy say both the position and the momentum of a small particle like the electron.

Father of quantum mechanics?

Answer:It is not clear . Some books advocates Max plank, some Neils Bohr , some Erwin Schrodinger and some even say Heisenberg . Definitely Max Planck. No Doubt !Answer:Max Planck was the first to use ideas of quantum theory when he solved the "ultraviolet catastrophe" in December of 1900. At the time, however, neither he nor the vast majority of the scientific community noticed the implications of his "quantization of energy."In 1905, Albert Einstein published a paper on the photoelectric effect in which he described energy transfer via light in the form of photons. He was one of the first physicists to acknowledge that particles could only obtain certain discrete energies.Many textbooks, however, will credit Max Planck as the "father of quantum theory."


Who is responsible for outlining the principle now called uniformitarianism?

Scottish geologist James Hutton is often credited with outlining the principles that later became known as uniformitarianism in his work "Theory of the Earth" published in 1788. This principle suggests that the same geological processes observed in the present day have been shaping the Earth's surface over long periods of time.
