    Graduate Does the uncertainty principle arise from measurement limitations or a fundamental law?

    Ah right. Are you able to explain to me in not overly complicated terms why it can never be avoided, which as you say means that the machine will never exist ? Cheers

    Graduate Does the uncertainty principle arise from measurement limitations or a fundamental law?

    Ok, but it certainly came across as being to do with the measuring device at the point where it said the momentum could not be measured precisely due to the momentum of the particle you are using to measure with (in the example a photon). This suggests to me that the principle only exists due to...

    Graduate Does the uncertainty principle arise from measurement limitations or a fundamental law?

    Hi, I just finished taking my first look at some quantum physics material and need some confirmation on a point which was not clear within the material, which I think will be pretty easy for you to answer. The measuring of a particles position/momentum: If in theory a piece of apparatus...
