Heisenberg's uncertainty finally resolved

A letter by Niels Bohr made public in the wake of discussions surrounding
Michael Frayn's play "Copenhagen" has made it possible to nail down
Heisenberg's position and velocity at last, and it turns out that his
position was squarely in the Nazi camp, but he was very slow. The Nazis paid
for the germanification of their science and promoting racially correct
dullards like Heisenberg by being deprived of the A-bomb. I always say
fascists can't think straight. Bohr's letter leaves no doubt as to why his
former student came to visit him in Copenhagen: The Fuhrer wanted his bomb
and Werner didn't have a clue how to make it. Otherwise, London would have
been toast. Still, Heisenberg's student Edward Teller compensated somewhat
for his mentor's lack of explosive force by inventing the H-bomb and the
neutron bomb.
