Most popular or elementary textbook level expositions advance the following physical argument in favor of the uncertainty principle:
In order to observe a state we must disturb it. Thus we have changed the state by our very act of observation and uncertainty creeps in.
Now this explanation is obviously wrong to me for more than one reasons, but what is the real explanation. Does an explanation exist or is it taken as an unexplainable axiom? Thanks.
