hi,

in the position momentum uncertainty principe , should we believe there is an uncertainty about the mass and not only about the velocity?

thank you very much for your reply!

As a practical matter, when dealing with elementary particles, the mass is known to a high degree of accuracy, so the uncertainty in momentum means uncertainty in velocity.
