Hi Guys,
Newbie question from a layperson so please don't beat me up! :D
I know that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle relates to measurement/observation of
particles with regard to quantum physics.
My question is whether or not it applies to measuring anything in the observable Universe. i.e..:
A foot race between friends where pushing the button on a stopwatch causes some air to brush past the racers,
The measurement of voltage/current/impedance of a circuit where the multimeter's leads adds
impedance to the circuit or a drain on the current being measured.
I can't relate it to the measurement of time with a clock.
Might sound like a silly question, but is there an accepted answer?
Cheers, Art.
