I hope this question relates closely enough:
[Mentor note: Don't be afraid to start a new topic if your question isn't directly related to an existing one. Also, this is really a QM question so I'm moving this to the Quantum Physics forum while I'm at it.]
If the 'controls' of an accelerator sends out impulses to the accelerator sometimes up to a billion times a second, does the process even care where along the path the 'particle' is that is being accelerated (except for re-routing)?
With HUP, speed of the electrical signal involved to each plate/electromagnet, and the speed that the plate must 'charge', the interval between charges, AND knowing the location/'position' of the particle--it seems the process may tend toward a 'gross' process than a 'fine' process.
(PS--I'm not rfwebster)
thank you kind sir(Mentor, whomever you may be), for the:
1) the advice
2) the move
3) the understanding
