Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to precisely determine certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, such as its position and momentum, at the same time. This means that there will always be an element of indeterminacy or chance in our understanding of the universe. It does not reinforce Newtonian physics, relate matter and energy, or address standards of good and bad. Option E is a misinterpretation of the uncertainty principle, as it states that it is impossible to determine both the precise position and speed of a particle simultaneously, not that it is possible.
