What is Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle?
In the real physical world around us, it's very easy to look at a moving object and estimate where it's going to be in the next few seconds. This happens because the uncertainties in the speed and position of the object are so small that we can detect them. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is one of a handful of ideas from quantum physics to expand into general pop culture. It says that you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object and shows up as a metaphor in everything from literary criticism to sports commentary.Uncertainty is often explained as a result of measurement that the act of measuring an object 's position changes its speed or vice-versa. The real origin is much deeper and more amazing. The uncertainty principle exists because everything in the universe behaves like both particles and waves at the same time. In quantum mechanics, the exact position and exact speed of an object have...
