Hi All,
I understand that it is impossible for man to know both the position and momentum of a particle with arbitrary accuracy. This is a result of the physics of photons which are necessary to observe an object.
Now although man cannot know the exact position and momentum simultaneously, that doesn't mean that a particle does not have an exact position and momentum. The position and momentum is exact but man cannot know what it is.
I believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with my logic but I'm not sure what it is?
Thank you,
Bob
