Lesson 11
The Uncertainty Principle — Why Measuring One Thing Blurs Another
In quantum physics, measuring one property of a particle — like its position — automatically makes another property, such as momentum, less certain. This isn’t caused by bad instruments; it’s a fundamental rule of nature known as Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The more precisely you know one thing, the blurrier the other becomes, revealing how strange the quantum world truly is.
