Uncertainty Principle
Also known as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle or indeterminacy principle is the philosophy that states "that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory. The very concepts of exact position and exact velocity together, in fact, have no meaning in nature." (Brittanica) Beyler, Richard. "Werner Heisenberg".
