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!
Let me give you a simple analogy: the only way we can measure certain things is by bouncing photons off of them. And if it’s small enough or light enough or fast moving enough, once you bounce a photon off of it, it’s no longer where it was.
