📚 The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is one of those ideas from quantum mechanics that have made it all the way to general audiences. Unfortunately, the principle is very often misunderstood and misrepresented. In this video we explain what the uncertainty principle really tells us about quantum systems. For the mathematical proof of the principle, check out the companion video below.
