Why is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle true?

What’s the underlying principle on why you can’t know the position and momentum of a particle at the same time? Is there an explanation? I don’t have any knowledge of calculus or the math behind anything so I’m asking here, thanks!

Scientists today are acutely aware of the phenomenal capacity of quantum information processing. For this reason they try in a great hurry to construct so-called “quantum computers”.Since quantum information processing is a natural capability of the Universe since its very beginning, it is highly likely that the Universe itself is already using it.Unfortunately, the fundamental quantum information processing of the Universe itself is banned from consideration here on Earth.In the beginning of the 21st century science firmly believes that the basis of all quantum processes in the Universe is chaos.Belief in chaos and randomness of quantum processes was initiated by some famous people in the past century, who failed to imagine an explanation for “apparently random” behavior of elementary particles such as electrons.As a result of this glaring lack of imagination, the so-called “uncertainty principle” has been adopted as a foundation of all sciences on Earth.The uncertainty principle, in its essence, brutally averages-out all traces of the quantum information processing of the Universe and estimates “probabilities” of some primitive set of locally averaged quantum events.The most famous critic of the uncertainty principle as a way to describe the fundamental activity of the Universe was Albert Einstein, who insisted that “God does not play dice”. Unfortunately, like all his contemporaries, he failed to imagine and propose a plausible explanation for apparently random behavior of elementary particles such as electrons. In the absence of intelligent critics, the uncertainty principle gained the status of a sanctified dogma that is not even allowed to be questioned.However, quantum-domain information processing in the Universe continues and will continue everywhere, no matter how many authorities and laureates choose to deny it…
