=Fun Facts about Werner:=
 * After the birth of his fraternal twins, Wolfgang Pauli sent his congratulations to Werner on his "pair creation" making a play on words about the process of pair production in particle phyisics which Pauli worked on.


 * Michael Frayn wrote a play, which debuted in 1998, titled “Copenhagen” which is centered on the meeting of Neils Bohr and Werner Heisenberg and the controversy over what truly happened and Heisenberg’s involvement with the Nazis. This film was turned into a TV movie in which Daniel Craig, who later played James Bond, played Heisenberg. - While some people believe that Bohr and Heisenberg's infamous conversation involved Heisenberg hoping to discover secrets behind the Allies' weapons programs, others believe Heisenberg was urging Bohr to stop his research as a warning that the Nazi's were on their way to building an atomic bomb. After the meeting Bohr warned the Allies about Heisenberg and the Nazi's atomic bomb plans. Heisenberg told the Nazi's that they didn't posses enough uranium needed for an atomic bomb, when in reality his measurements included a gross overestimation of the amount needed. Some believe this was just an honest mistake, while Heisenberg and others claim it was done on purpose in order to keep an atomic bomb out of the Nazi's hands. German documents published after the war depict Nazi suspicion that Heisenberg was intentionally leading the program in the wrong direction. The truth behind what happened while Heisenberg worked on the Nazi program and his infamous conversation with Bohr will never be known for certain.

Sheldon: Agreed. Wait till you hear how he dumbs down Werner Heisenberg for the crowd. You may actually believe you’re in a comedy club. Greene: You can think about Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle much like the special order menu that you find in certain Chinese restaurants, where you have dishes in column A and other dishes in column B, and if you order the first dish in column A, you can’t order the corresponding dish in column B. That’s sort of like the Uncertainly Principle. Sheldon: Ba-dum-bump.
 * Heisenberg has been referenced several times of popular television shows.
 * On “Star Trek”, a “Heisenberg Compensator” is used in the teleportation device to compensate for uncertainty in the subatomic measurements.
 * On the popular show Breaking Bad, in which the main character, Walter, uses his chemistry experience to become a methamphetamine producer after being diagnosed with cancer, the name “Heisenberg” becomes Walter’s alias.
 * On an episode of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon compares himself as a Heisenberg Particle, because he cannot know both his position and momentum. Popular author and scientist Brian Greene also made a cameo on the show and spoke of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principal. media type="youtube" key="a0Sd4ms-W7I" height="315" width="560"
