Uncertainty Principle:
“The principle of uncertainty is the degree of indeterminateness in the possible present knowledge of the simultaneous values of various qualities with which the quantum theory deals. It does not restrict the exactness of position measurement alone or velocity measurement alone; the velocity known while the position unknown. Every subsequent observation of the position will alter the momentum by an unknown and indeterminable amount.”
