    Thanks for your help.

    Graduate Does the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Affect Relativity Calculations?

    Ok. Last question... Things being relative. If you set (∆x')(m∆v') so that it satisfies the HUP then doesn't (∆x)(m∆v) violate the HUP...

    Thanks again for replying... Sorry for the delay. Had to try and get my head around the math. Not sure if I did... For a relativistic particle with position x±∆x and velocity v±∆v such that (∆x)(m∆v) satisfies the HUP, after the translation and boost I seem to get: ∆x' = ∆x / sqrt(1- v^2/c^2)...

    Graduate Does the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Affect Relativity Calculations?

    Thanks for replying... I guess I'm thinking that in particle experiments the primary reference frame is normally some sort of sensor equipment and the secondary frame is anchored to a fast moving particle. Then if you know the velocity of the secondary reference frame you have trouble figuring...

    Graduate Does the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Affect Relativity Calculations?

    Hi, Just had a quick question... Relativity seems to require the position and time of an event in one reference frame and the difference in velocity with a second reference frame. Given this starting information you're suppose to be able to calculate the position and time of the same event as...
