(LiveScience) More than 80 years after the uncertainty principle was first proposed, scientists are ironing out some uncertainties about the famous physics notion. The uncertainty principle, proposed ...

Quantum particles are not really just particles…they are also waves. The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there's something out there in ...

If we take out all the matter, neutrinos, dark matter, cosmic rays, and radiation from the deepest parts of the voids, the only thing left is empty space. I know it sounds like a paradox, but the ...

One of the most often quoted, yet least understood, tenets of physics is the uncertainty principle. Formulated by German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the rule states that the more precisely ...

The quantum uncertainty principle stipulates that when one observable is predictable there must be some other observables that are unpredictable. The principle is viewed as holding the key to many ...

Heard of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle? It says the more certain we are of a quantum particle’s position, the less certain we are of its velocity, and vice versa. While that deals solely with the ...
