The Uncertainty Principle, or also known as Heisenberg uncertainty principleor indeterminacy principle, is a principle
that states that the position and velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly at the same time, and that the concepts
of exact position and exact velocity together have no meaning in nature itself.
The theory was articulated by Wener Heisenberg in 1927, and it applies
only at the small scales of atoms
and
Subatomic Particles and is not noticeable for macroscopic objects, an example of a macroscopic object is moving vehicles. This theory
is said by the fact that any attempt to measure the velocity of a subatomic particle precisely will displace the particle
in an unknown way, thus invalidating any simultaneous measurement of its position. This displacement is a result of
the wave nature of particles (for more information on this see
Wave-Particle Duality). The principle also applies to other related pairs of variables, such as energy and time!
