Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that you cannot simultaneously know both the exact position and exact velocity of a particle. This isn't a limitation of our instruments but a fundamental property of nature. The more precisely you measure one property, the less precisely you can know the other.

💡 Did you know?

This principle is why electrons exist in 'probability clouds' rather than fixed orbits!
