| Mar 27, 2021 at 20:31 | comment | added | Norbert Schuch | To start with, there's more than one uncertainty principle. E.g., one version states that e.g. position and momentum (expectation values) of a state cannot be simultaneously defined up to X. Another version considers the possibility to joinly measure e.g. position and momentum. This is not the same statement. And there are more versions. | |

| Mar 23, 2021 at 11:41 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | "How to accurately state..." <-- this is begging for reflexive jokes. "I can tell you exactly what the Uncertainty Principle is but then you'd have zero understanding" | |
| Mar 23, 2021 at 11:40 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | FWIW I still think this question should be closed as opinion based, even though some of the answers are pretty good. | |
| Mar 23, 2021 at 11:02 | comment | added | user541686 | "If I were a teacher"... of what class? Is it a college class where they've seen Fourier transforms? Because then you can just illustrate it very vividly with time/frequency uncertainty, and then tell them this mathematical fact is physically true in quantum mechanics ("because position & momentum are in some sense Fourier transforms", or whatever..). | |

Copy edited (e.g. ref. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle>). Fixed the question formation - missing auxiliary (or helping) verb - see e.g. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4yWEt0OSpg&t=1m49s> (see also <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS5NfSzXfrI> (QUASM)).

| Mar 22, 2021 at 20:51 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | Your post seems like a (correct IMO) criticism of how the HUP is explained and then a separate question tacked on at the end. I suggest focusing on asking your main question up front, and not making it look so subjective (e.g. the title of the post). | |
