  • This chemistry video tutorial explains the concept of heisenberg's uncertainty principle in a simplified way. His principle applies mostly for small particles and events. As the uncertainty in the position of a particle increases, the uncertainty in momentum decreases. This video contains some math practice problems that illustrate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

    Layman's terms for looking at the uncertainty principle would be very simple using no mathematical equations....
    If I had an object that was moving through space and I wanted to know its exact exact exact exact exact position. I would need to stop the object to obtain this information and it would have no velocity at that point.
    Also on the other hand if I really wanted to know the velocity of an object in the study its momentum it would not have an exact exact exact exact position because it would be in motion.
    Heisenberg's showed this how it would work out mathematically but for someone that doesn't want to do the math for understand it that's basically sums it up.

    Heisenberg stated that you cannot know both the position and the momentum (mass times velocity) of an object with an absolute certainty at the same time. Basically, if you are absolutely certain that your velocity is 85 miles per hour, the certainty in your position goes to zero, making you not sure where you’re at

      As Ryan mention uncertainty principle says that it is not possible. Though I do believe if you could contain a particle in a very small space on fraction on the Plank scale it or may be possible for the particle to gain infinite speeds in a very small space. This would be possible due to E=mc2 and may be the cause of a particle being in a superposition... thoughts anyone?

      @chaoticstorm8145 4 года назад +6

      delta v = 0 implies that the uncertainty in momentum = 0 because delta p=delta v * m, which means your are 100% sure what the momentum is, which is impossible because of the uncertainty principle. Saying you know the momentum with absolute certainty then implies that the position could be absolutely anywhere in the entire universe, which because of the uncertainty principle we know cant be true.

    Frankly, we don't even know the mass of an electron. Free electrons are saturated with more stationary photons than the one of stationary electrons. J. J. Thompson is measuring the charge per mass ratio of free electron rather than stationary electrons and needless to say it is definitely not bare electrons. We have no ideas how many stationary photons that are adhered onto the measured free electrons. In addition, different saturation of stationary photons adhere onto a free electron will have different mass content, momentum and magnetic field strength. Therefore this makes it virtually impossible to know the charge per mass ratio of free electrons. Millikan's oil drops experiment can't be replicated even with better apparatus, and we suspected Millikan fabricated his data about the charge of an electron. Frankly, an oil drop no matter how tiny it's is considered to be huge in size that consisted several oil molecular structures where they can adhere with high variations of stationary electrons. Therefore it's naïve to assume there is small, integer number of electrons that adhere to those oil drops. In addition, the charge strength of an electron is just too small that it is considered to be negligible. Therefore it's impossible to measure the charge strength of an electron no matter how sophisticated our apparatus is. Since the charge of an electron can't be measured then we don't really know its momentum. The interesting question is how we measure the electrons velocities? Frankly, we have no idea how to measure their velocities since they are revolving around the nucleus so swiftly. One must be talking if he claimed that he know how to measure the velocities of electrons. Likewise we know stationary electrons are confines within an electron-shell of an atom but we have no idea about its exact whereabouts within the electron-shell simply because they are moving very fast. Heisenberg's uncertainty principles turned out to be a bluff. Knowing the position of the electrons that we will not know their momentum? In reality, we don't even know its location at the same time we also don't know its momentum! If you are interested in real discoveries, I would recommend you to read my book, The Unification Theory - Volume One and you will be amazed with lots of new, interesting discoveries. In God I trust.
