The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, formulated by physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, reminds us that there are fundamental limits to what can be known simultaneously about certain pairs of physical properties—like a particle’s position and momentum. This principle isn’t a flaw in measurement, but a fundamental characteristic of nature itself. This same kind of uncertainty seems […]...
