Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Definition
(Noun) The idea that you can never know both the exact position and momentum of a particle at the same time - no matter how hard you try!
Two scientists standing on opposite sides of a room trying to measure something they could not see or touch but still felt its effects all around them!
Usage
If Heisenberg had been an accountant he would have been called "Uncertainty Bookkeeper"!
Insight
What did one quantum physicist say to another? Nothing...they were too uncertain about each other's presence!
Origin
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was discovered when two scientists tried to measure their own uncertainty in a lab experiment gone wrong!
