It was June 7, 1925, that Werner Heisenberg left for the North Sea
island of Helgoland wanting to find some rest after a bad attack of hay
fever. It was one of these nights that Heisenberg ‘invented’ modern
quantum mechanics. He wrote later in his book ‘Der Teil und das Ganze’:
“It was about three o’clock at night when the final result of the
calculation lay before me. At first I was deeply shaken. I was so
excited that I could not think of sleep. So I left the house and awaited
the sunrise on the top of a rock.”
