Scope and content
Heisenberg objections about the impossibility of the localization of particles in the nucleus with a precision greater than h/($\mu$.c). He does not believe in a theory where $\mu$<M can be assumed. The theory of $\gamma$-ray interferences is a good example of the applicability of the explosion-hypothesis. He speaks of his belief in the existence of definite rest-masses of the same order of magnitude (h.c)/$\mu_{o}$.
