- What Is the Uncertainty Principle? Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle ...German physicist and Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg created the famous uncertainty principle in 1927, stating that we cannot know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or electron, with perfect accuracy.
- The Uncertainty Principle - Stanford Encyclopedia of PhilosophyThe uncertainty principle played an important role in many discussions on the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics, in particular in discussions on the consistency of the so-called Copenhagen interpretation, the interpretation endorsed by the founding fathers Heisenberg and Bohr.
- Uncertainty principle | Definition & Equation | BritannicaUncertainty principle, statement that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory. The very concepts of exact position and exact velocity together have no meaning in nature. Werner Heisenberg first stated the principle in 1927.
