Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

What it means and why it matters in science

🔍 Objective: Understand the concept of the Uncertainty Principle

🌟 Concept: Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

The Uncertainty Principle says:

We can't know the exact position and speed of a particle at the same time. If we measure one more precisely, the other becomes fuzzier!

Wave-Particle Duality:

Particles behave like both waves and particles and measuring them disturbs their state...

The Formula:

  • Δx: uncertainty in position

  • Δp: uncertainty in momentum

  • ℏ: a super small constant in quantum physics

This principle tells us:

  • The quantum world is full of probabilities

  • Absolute certainty isn’t possible on tiny scales

Quantum tech like computers and lasers rely on this principle! It’s shaping the future of science and technology.

Quantum physics changes how we see the world.

What fascinates you about it?
