Heisenberg’s uncertainty/indetermination principle
Heisenberg’s microscope interpretation
Incoming photon
Quantum theory interpretation
Heisenberg’s uncertainly principle is NOT a principle about the lack of precision of measurements.
Heisenberg’s uncertainly principle is an intrinsic aspect and law of nature
which arises due to the particle-wave duality.
Even an ideal measurement instrument with infinite precision must nevertheless obey it.
