Uncertainty Principle Explained | Quantum Physics

The Uncertainty Principle is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics, a theory that describes the behavior of particles at the smallest scales. Formulated by German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the Uncertainty Principle asserts that there is a fundamental limit to how precisely we can simultaneously know certain pairs of properties of a particle. The most well-known pair is position and momentum.
In classical physics, if you know the position and velocity of an object, you can predict its future position and velocity with perfect accuracy. However, in the quantum world, things are not so straightforward. The more precisely you know the position of a particle, the less precisely you can know its momentum, and vice versa. This isn't just a limitation of our measuring instruments; it's an intrinsic property of nature.

what is outside is unknown and unknowable this unknowable furnishes a disturbance in your mind pond and you know something is there.

It's not just in the quantum world, you can't determine the speed and position of anything.

I can't tell of this is a joke or not
