What this means is that instead of getting a precise location you could only get a distribution of values for such a measurement that would have a non-vanishing uncertainty. Having said that, none of the naive concepts of how this could work actually applies, special relativity doesn't play ball with those. There are theoretical models like quantum foams and loop quantum gravity that manage to preserve relativity, but they do so at a great expense of complexity. | |
