- TL;DR Summary
- Would that violate the uncertainty principle, or is assuming that it would simply a misunderstanding of the UP? (any explanation level welcome)
In classical physics, every object is obviously at rest with itself, and it makes perfect sense for this to be true.
But would this violate the uncertainty principle for a particle? If you are the particle and you know that you're at rest with respect to yourself, you know both your location and your momentum fully.
Or, instead is this idea a misapplication of the uncertainty principle (which I would assume would only apply to measurements we make of a particle, not the person making the measurement, who is at rest with respect to his/her own reference frame)?Any insight is welcome, at any level.
