I thought maybe if I read physics in historical order - starting with Einstein - I would be able to see how the paradoxes arose from solutions to other problems.

Well, this was as far as I got.

I understand the concept of the uncertainty principle in that measuring a particle necessarily affects it. I was hoping to explore the roots of the "observer effect" by seeing what else might have been implied by Heisenberg in his own explanation.
