If this was all Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle said, it probably wouldn’t have been profound enough to weave its way into pop culture in the form of mugs, T-shirts, and cartoons—let ...

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 ...

(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.

A crucial component of quantum theory is Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle: Measure the exact location of a particle, and there will be great uncertainty about the particle’s momentum ...

Werner Heisenberg made this breakthrough ... This was momentous and from this flowed what’s known as his Uncertainty Principle, the idea that, for example, you can accurately measure the ...
