[QUOTE="topsquark, post: 6841705, member: 46422"] It's due to the quantum nature of the system. QM is a probabilistic Science: measurements of a system generate distributions. What you get when you measure a quantity is a data set that measures, not a single particle, but the same property of a system of particles. Each measurement will give a different eigenvalue so there will be a statistical variance in the measurements and it is this that causes the Uncertainty Principle. Now, technology is certainly a factor. The UP predicts the best that we can do. Obviously, we need to be able to measure it that well. -Dan [/QUOTE]
