The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics stating that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot be precisely measured at the same time. The more accurately we know one property, the less accurately we can know the other. This is not due to limitations in measurement tools but is a fundamental characteristic of particles at the quantum level. It implies that at a microscopic scale, nature is inherently uncertain, challenging our classical intuitions about determinism and predictability.
