In his doctoral thesis he dealt with the problem of turbulence. Arnold Sommerfeld who acted as a referee on his thests stated: “Dealing with this problem the young, highly gifted author again shows his extraordinary abilities: full command of the mathematical apparatus and mgenious physical Insight.” Twenty-two years later, dunng his internment m England, he once more took up this subject and, together with C. F. von WeizsHcker, applied the theory of turbulence to astrophysical problems, e g. the question of the spiral structure in spiral nebulae. After the war, he imtiated the establishment of the Department of Astrophystcs at the Max-Planck-Institute for Phystcs. since his studies on cosmtc rays were closely related to astrophysics. In the early sixties, together with Ludwig Biermann, he helped to set up the Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics withm the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics and Astrophysics. In the last lecture which he prepared when already seriously ill he once again devoted himself to the problem of cosmic rays We have lost a great scientist of this century and also within the International Academy of Astronautics Werner Heisenberg will be remembered with the greatest respect.
