I am new, and I don't have a physics background, so please excuse the question if it is incredibly easy...
Does the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle mean that we just can't measure the location of an electron to perfect accuracy, but such a location does exit (we just can't know what it is)? Or does it mean that we can know the general location of the electron, but beyond that, the electron can not be said to exist in any particular location?
So basically, does an exact location of an electron exist, even if we can't know what it is?
