The ultimate physics friendship breakup! Niels Bohr thought he had electrons all figured out with his neat little planetary model where electrons orbit the nucleus like tiny moons. Then his student Werner Heisenberg comes along three years later and basically says "Actually, we can't even know where your electrons ARE, old man!" Talk about an academic betrayal! Heisenberg's uncertainty principle crashed Bohr's electron party by proving we can never simultaneously know both position AND momentum of particles. It's like teaching someone to drive only for them to invent teleportation and make your car obsolete. The scientific equivalent of "I learned it from watching YOU, Dad!"
