Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Overview The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you cannot precisely measure both the position and momentum of a particle at the same time. The more accurately you know one, the less accurately you know the other. ⸻ Formula Δx · Δp ≥ ħ / 2 ⸻ Key Points • Δx = uncertainty in position • Δp = uncertainty in momentum • ħ = reduced Planck constant ⸻ Example # Conceptual example position_accuracy = "high" momentum_accuracy = "low" ⸻ Summary Table Quantity Meaning Δx Position uncertainty Δp Momentum uncertainty ⸻ Final Thought This principle shows that uncertainty is not due to measurement error, but a fundamental property of nature.
