### Is uncertainity a postulate? [duplicate]

I heard the standard interpretation of Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: Just the measurement affects the position of the body because always you want to see a body (=to measure the position), you ...

### Is uncertainty principle a technical difficulty in measurement? [duplicate]

Is the uncertainty principle a technical difficulty in measurement or is it an intrinsic concept in quantum mechanics irrelevant of any measurement? Everyone knows the thought experiment of measuring ...

### Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle - Humans knowing vs values existing in nature [duplicate]

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that the more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. What I am getting out of ...

### Is the uncertainity principle a practical reality, a theoretical law or a measurement problem? [duplicate]

I understand we cannot state with arbitrary precision the position and momentum of a micro-particle as we superpose infinite waves to create a wave packet at the exact position of the particle and ...

### About Heisenberg uncertainty principle [duplicate]

What would happen if someone invented a way to measure both position and momentum precisely? If it is impossible why?

### Uncertainty principle implies the non-deterministic universe? [duplicate]

Does the uncertainty principle imply the non-deterministic universe, or just the fact that our model of the universe, the one based on observation, can be at most non-deterministic, since we will not ...

### Why is the camera not the culprit? [duplicate]

Perhaps I am completely wrong, but as I understand it our observation of a system can affect the outcome. The example I remember is the double slit experiment where electrons behave as a wave at ...

### What does the Heisenberg principle actually mean? [duplicate]

As far as I can understand, the Heisenberg principle limits the possibility of calculating the exact position and momentum of electrons, as the light we use to observe it changes it's velocity. But ...

### Is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle based on experimental imprecision in measurement? [duplicate]

As far as I understand, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the more one of the conjugate quantities are known, the less the other is known. So for instance, if the velocity of a particle ...

### Is uncertainty a physical obstacle? [duplicate]

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that you cannot know the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time (I believe this is the main idea behind it). And I have read in various ...

### If we solved the observer effect/problem, doesn't this mean Quantum superposition isn't actually real? [duplicate]

I am nowhere close to a physicist so please correct me anywhere I am wrong From what I understand about the observer effect, when we measure one intrinsic property of an electron such as position, ...

### Why does heisenberg uncertainty principle work? [duplicate]

Hiesenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that inaccuracy in momentum and position will always be there and we will never ever be able to get it 100% accurate. Suppose in future millions of years from ...
I was reading about how the Planck's Constant can be measured with LEDs, which made me think about this question. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that: \Delta x \Delta p \ge {\hbar\...
