Hi
I was interested in Quantum Mechanics so I started reading some books about it.
When I was reading about Uncertainty principle I found out we have uncertainty about the particle because of photons.
was my conclusion right or the uncertainty arises from somewhere else?
and If we make a mechanism that observe the particle without photon,will uncertainty principle knock down?

The principle holds without photons. There are tens of threads about it here on PF.
