    Is it an urban myth that on Werner Heisenbergs' gravestone, are written the words, 'He lies here somewhere'?

    		No.

    Werner Heisenberg

    "He lies here, somewhere."

    This is a joke about the famous Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which implies that one may not know the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously.

    		star's answer seems to say that it is NOT an urban myth.
    However the photo of his grave from the findagrave reference does not show any such inscription.
