[QUOTE="Simon Bridge, post: 5506870, member: 367532"] In magnetic materials, there are stable states where the individual magnetic moments line up ... this gives rise to the magnetic domains. This does not violate the uncertainty in the x-y plane ... we are only measuring the z direction. But recall - any attempt to measure the x-y components is the same as imposing a new z-direction and just calling it "x" or "y" or whatever. All that happens is the measurement makes the orthogonal components uncertain. These are just labels: "z" points in any direction you decide. When you read the theory - take care not to confuse several different uses for "z axis". [/QUOTE]
