Does Heisenberg uncertainty principle kill the scope of unification of sciences?Is there any scope in future for this principle to be contradicted?

Question

This means that I can’t model a human brain through physics and make predictions about it thanks to this principle. I can’t predict chemical products through computer simulation.

Answer 1

You can build predictive models with the Uncertainty Principle – and quantum mechanics models do – you just have to factor in the uncertainties somewhere.

So if you want to know where something will end up, a classical physics model will give you an exact point. But a quantum mechanical model will give you a probability distribution for where it could be with associated likelihood of it being there.

It is still a predictive model, just with a random element to it.
