Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that states you cannot precisely know both the position and momentum of a particle at the same time. The more accurately you measure one, the less accurately you can measure the other. This is not due to measurement limitations but is a basic property of nature. In wave mechanics, particles exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior, leading to inherent uncertainties. This principle helps explain why we cannot predict the exact behavior of atoms or subatomic particles, underscoring the probabilistic nature of quantum systems.
