Quantum uncertainty
Quantum uncertainty, often referred to as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, states that certain pairs of properties, like a particle's position and momentum, cannot both be precisely known at the same time. The more accurately we know one property, the less accurately we can know the other. This isn’t due to limitations in our measuring tools, but rather a fundamental property of nature at the quantum level. This inherent uncertainty challenges our classical understanding of physics, suggesting that at the smallest scales, reality behaves in ways that can seem strange and counterintuitive.
