The discussion clarifies the distinction between Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics (QM). Heisenberg's principle asserts that one cannot simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle, while the Copenhagen interpretation posits that a particle's existence is contingent upon observation. Both concepts are foundational in QM, but they serve different roles in understanding the behavior of particles. The uncertainty principle is universally applicable across various interpretations of QM, including but not limited to the Copenhagen interpretation.

As i understood Heisenbergs principle is about "we can't know exact position and condition of a particle" while copenhagen interp. Is "unless we observe a paricule, it may or may not exist at all". Please forgive my ignorance as I am kinda new to this subject. And i would be glad to learn the truth behind those subjects. Thank you for your concern.dextercioby said:While "Copenhagen interpretation" is a vast subject, you can write in a couple of lines what you mean by the exact form of "the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle". Please, do so. Thank you!
