Walt, the trained scientist, calls himself “
Walter White first came up with the street name "Heisenberg" in his Season 1 meeting with Tuco. It's a reference to German physicist Werner Heisenberg, famous for his "uncertainty principle" which states that the exact position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously known.
Walt is a high school chemistry teacher, to him Heisenberg would be best known for the uncertainty principle, which states that it isn't possible to know both the speed and location of an electron. When he gives this as his alias i s01e06 he is basically saying "you will never know who I am or where I am from".
Season 5, Episode 16: “Felina”
Knowing he's close to death one way or the other, he is at last able to admit that Heisenberg — rather than Walter White — is his true persona. “I did it for me,” he tells Skyler.
February 1927: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. In February 1927, the young Werner Heisenberg developed a key piece of quantum theory, the uncertainty principle, with profound implications. Werner Heisenberg was born in December 1901 in Germany, into an upper-middle-class academic family.

By examining the social and internal interactions of the character Walter White, it is clear that he could be clinically diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder.
Walter White, the fictional chemistry teacher turned drug dealer on Breaking Bad, was infamous for utilizing his chemistry skills to create a 99.1% pure methamphetamine aptly named "Blue Sky."
Walt adopted the clandestine pseudonym and business moniker "Heisenberg" (referencing the theoretical physicist Werner Karl Heisenberg) as an alias as he immersed himself in the drug trade.
At dinner at the Whites, Hank goes to the bathroom and while there, pages through a copy of Leaves of Grass that Gale had given Walter. He recognizes the writing from Gale's notebook, and from Gale's dedication to Walt, is shocked to conclude that Walt is Heisenberg.
Why Walter White Called Himself Heisenberg. The name of Walt's alter ego came from Werner Heisenberg, a German physicist known as a pioneer of quantum mechanics. As a chemist, Walt would be familiar with famous scientists; likely, he took Heisenberg as an inspiration.
Because he was competing for Jesse with that upstart, Gus. Walt knew that if he didn't lock Jesse down as his, that he would lose him. Walt realized two things about his relationship with Gus. That Gus didn't like him, and that two people could possibly replace him.
Now starting to lose his hair from the chemo, Walt decides to shave his head. Afterward, he arranges for a meeting with Tuco. He introduces himself under the alias Heisenberg, and demands $50,000 from Tuco—$35,000 for the meth he took from Jesse, and $15,000 for beating Jesse.
Heisenberg is definitely evil, but he's not entirely to blame. Miranda kidnapped him when he was a child and infected him with the Cadou parasite, which is the source of his powers.
He appears to frequently struggle with his own mental state and doesn't always act rationally. Walt is portrayed in part as a man finding power but being unable to wield it appropriately. Forcing his son to drink and making a scene at the party is an example of how he cannot control his power.
As Walt either wouldn't or couldn't do anything to save Jane, he decided not to wake Jesse up, knowing that her death would help him gain control over Jesse as a result, and possibly saving Jesse from the same fate and to protect his own criminal secrets. Walt watching Jane die.
Many thoughts of grief may have flooded Walt's mind after Hank was killed in Breaking Bad, but the reason why Walt tells Jesse the truth about Jane's death is indicative of his true nature. Walt's evolution to becoming Heisenberg was created out of a series of events of desperation and tragedy.
No. From the moment Walt had him dragged out from under that car in the desert, Jesse never forgave his former partner. From that moment on, Jesse felt nothing but hatred and resentment towards him.
In 2016, Vince Gilligan finally revealed the true reason why Walter broke up with Gretchen and left Gray Matter: he felt inferior to her and her wealthy family, confirming that it was due to his ego and pride.
Jesse Pinkman
After "dueling" with a criminal named Neil over a share of Todd's money, Jesse was able to pay for the service and begins a new life in Alaska. He left a letter for his former girlfriend's son, Brock, one of Breaking Bad's most victimized characters, but otherwise didn't say goodbye to anyone.
And while, of course, Walter White is evil, too, (himself being an antagonist who makes numerous questionable decisions), it's no secret that fans root for him over the course of the series. Anyone who gets in his way is deemed an antagonist, but only a few Breaking Bad villains stand out as genuinely evil characters.
Throughout Breaking Bad, Jesse finds himself constantly suffering as a result of his involvement in Walter's business. He's beaten, nearly killed multiple times, imprisoned, and suffers severe anxiety and depression as a result of his experiences.
Numerous characters in television shows are informally described as psychopaths. Examples include Natalie Buxton in Bad Girls, Sean Slater and Michael Moon in EastEnders, Dexter Morgan in Dexter, Tuco Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and Frank Underwood in House of Cards.
She shoplifts compulsively—apparently a manifest symptom of kleptomania—a behavior for which she sees a therapist. She appears self-centered and shallow but cares deeply for her husband and her sister's family.
