From what I've gathered reading the scientific literature, the more precise we know a quantum system's position, the more uncertain the momentum becomes.
Does the uncertainty principle place a limit on how well we can know a system's position when we measure that observable? I've read elsewhere on this forum if the system's position was made infinitely precise, the momentum uncertainty would be infinite - by the way it was stated, does that signal an issue if it happened?
