Why is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle not obvious give the conservation of mass- energy?
A photons energy is given by $E=h *f$ and momentum $p=E/c$ (spin?) but the photon has no (rest) mass! Therefore it is the ultimate probing tool for looking at any mass position and velocity because ...

Einstein's Mass-Energy Equivalence versus Quantum Kinetic Energy
Using a naive view of Einstein's Energy Mass Equivalence $E=mc^2$ (where m is mass and c is the speed of light), it seems tempting to interpret this as a quantum mechanical version of the inherent ...
