| 0:00.0 | Hi, we've got three stories from Curiosity.com to help you get smarter in just a few minutes. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm Cody Gough. |
| 0:07.0 | And I'm Ashley Hamer. |
| 0:08.0 | Today, you learn about Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, |
| 0:11.0 | the weird history of a castle in Ohio, and why you're not born with |
| 0:15.2 | emotions, you learn them. |
| 0:17.1 | Let's satisfy some curiosity on the award-winning Curiosity Daily. |
| 0:20.9 | Remember in the TV show Breaking Bad, when one of the main characters starts going by the nickname Heisenberg? |
| 0:26.0 | Did you ever wonder who the heck Heisenberg is? |
| 0:29.0 | Well, this week, the original Heisenberg would be 117 years old so we thought we'd do a little tribute |
| 0:35.9 | by explaining his uncertainty principle. |
| 0:38.4 | Breaking bed was such a good show. |
| 0:40.6 | Let's do this quantum physics thing. |
| 0:42.2 | All right. |
| 0:43.0 | Werner Carl Heisenberg was born on December 5th, |
| 0:46.0 | 1901, and he was a pretty smart scientist. |
| 0:49.0 | He trained in three of the world's leading centers for theoretical physics |
| 0:52.0 | with three of the world's leading centers for theoretical physics with three of the world's leading theorists, |
| 0:54.8 | Arnold Sommerfeld, Max Bourne, and Nils Boor. |
| 0:58.0 | Around the time Heisenberg was starting his career, quantum theory was just starting to pick up steam. |
| 1:03.0 | But researchers were looking for a way to reconcile the differences between small-scale quantum physics and large-scale classical physics. |
| 1:10.0 | Heisenberg was one of the first to realize that that was impossible. |
