Ive been doing some researches about QM and I am in a condition where i can't differ Heisenbergs indetermination principle from copenhagen interp. Can somebody please explain simply or advancedly(?) (in an understandable way) are there any differences between them. If there are, what are those differences?

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!
 
There are several different interpretation of QM, Copenhagen interpretation is only one them. (Actually, Copenhagen interpretation is a common name for a few different interpretations, but that's another story). The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is valid in all those Copenhagen and non-Copenhagen interpretations. However, in each interpretation, the uncertainty principle is interpreted differently.

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.
 
I recently started to read john gribbin. Thus i don't need further explanation. Thank you all for those who replied.
