Max Born, a renown and pioneering German physicist, passed away on 5 January 1970 at the age of 87. Born into a Jewish family in Breslau in 1882, he studied mathematics and natural science at the Universities of Breslau, Göttingen, and Zürich, obtaining his doctorate in Göttingen in 1906. He made major contributions to quantum physics, particularly in the area of the statistical interpretation of the wave function. Many theories proposed by him are seen in quantum mechanics, such as the probability interpretation of the wave function and the Born approximation. He shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger in 1954. He taught physics at the University of Göttingen from 1930–1934, joined the University of Edinburgh as a professor in 1936, and became a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Berlin between 1939–1953. He was the author of many scientific treatises and books, of which his best-known work is “The Restless Universe.” Max Born was an eminent scientist whose contributions to the field of physics have been remembered. He will be greatly missed.
