Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that it is impossible to simultaneously measure the position and momentum of a particle with infinite precision. In our everyday lives we virtually ...

Menger. In physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle advises us that the momentum and position of an electron cannot be known both precisely and simultaneously. Similarly in mathematics ...

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that we cannot know both the position and the momentum of a particle at once Imagine driving a car fitted with a GPS navigation system that glitches ...

(Heisenberg called this matrix mechanics, soon shown to be equivalent to Erwin Schrödinger's more visualizable wave theory.) The uncertainty principle was hard even for scientists to accept at first.

and called it the uncertainty principle. While many resisted this idea, it eventually became accepted as a fundamental law of nature. Later in 1927 Heisenberg returned to Germany and became the ...
