Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. Why, exactly, can you not know both the velocity and position of a particle?
In: 146
Because they’re also waves. They can’t have well defined position and well defined velocity simultaneously.
For example
If the wind is blowing over the ocean, it makes waves with a regular velocity, but it’s everywhere (no position)
If someone cannonballs into the ocean, you can tell where it happened, but it makes a splash rather than a normal wave.
