Werner Karl Heisenberg, when he was nineteen worked as a guard in a factory. One day he picked up an old copy of Plato's 'Timaiyas', a book of philosophical dialogue, at a bookseller's shop. He found it fascinating and this led to a keen interest in the atomic sciences. He applied himself from then on to a serious study of physics. At the age of 26, he obtained professorship at Laipxing.
