Uncertainty Principle

Not only did he anticipate Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and set out a finite axiomatization of arithmetic before Peano did, and the basis axiomatic set theory before Zermelo did, but also his notation and terminology were readable and suggestive, giving future logicians a better language to work in than the clunky terms of the Germans.

In 1927 Werner Heisenberg came up with his Uncertainty Principle, according to which, in subatomic experiments, the very act of observation distorts reality in such a way that one can determine either the position or the velocity of a particle, but never both at once.

On a mathematical or statistical level, the chaotic nature of reality may manifest as randomness; I suspect it manifests in the Uncertainty Principle as well.

Heisenberg contributed the Uncertainty Principle (that certain physical quantities, like position and momentum, cannot both have precise values at the same time).
