Most of us are 23 and figuring out which PDF to read first. Heisenberg, at 23, published the paper that would birth quantum mechanics. This post isn’t about glorifying the past. It’s about understanding why genius now takes longer and how to live like it still matters. This July 25 marks 100 years of a paper that turned ou to be the advent of Quantum Mechanics. 23 years old Werner Heisenberg had returned from his Helgoland trip and published his paper on the quantum theoretical reinterpretation of kinematical and mechanical relationships. This paper contributed in revolutionizing the field of quantum mechanics. 1925 was already a big big year for quantum science. I emphasized on mentioning Heisenberg's age at that time because I see myself and majority of mu current peers in the same age group as he was in back then. He was able to think, imagine, theorize, and contribute to science at that age, and here we are struggling even to grasp one concept and explain it in comprehensive ma...
