/oss/taxonomy/term/2818/all en /oss/article/did-you-know/uncertainty-principle <p>If you've watched the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-AlfuvjPYM">Big Bang theory</a> or taken some science classes you've probably heard of something called the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mXJK86GCsI">Uncertainty Principle</a>. This theory, which looks like this in formula form: ΔpΔx = h basically states that we cannot know both the speed and the position of a subatomic molecule. Now, at least to me, that has always sounded a little bit like witchcraft. It just doesn't quite sound real- why can't we know both the position and the speed of a molecule?</p> Sun, 15 Oct 2017 17:09:47 +0000 Ada McVean B.Sc. 5185 at /oss
