Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. Why, exactly, can you not know both the velocity and position of a particle?

Answer 1

Ultra-short answer: It’s because velocity describes a change in location between two different points in time, whereas location is only relevant at one specific moment in time.

Note: Substituted location for position to be more accurate.
