In 1927, Heisenberg introduced the Uncertainty Principle according to which the electron's position and momentum can never be determined accurately. Oppenheimer found this fascinating as it contradicted Bohr's theory. The Uncertainty Principle contributed to the development of quantum mechanics and the quantum mechanical model of the atom by the fact that our knowledge of the properties of nature is limited. We can predict, but we can never really know for sure.
