Quantum Uncertainty: Because Even I'm Not Sure What I'm Saying

Here you'll find a series of absurdly complex explanations for the uncertainty principle.

For more on the implications of this principle in modern physics, see measurementProblems

Measurement Problems

When trying to measure the position and momentum of a subatomic particle, we can't help but think that the very act of observation is the problem.

The Observer Effect: When the Act of Observation Becomes the Problem

In quantum mechanics, the act of observation can change what we're observing. This has led us to ask, what exactly is being observed?

This raises questions about the nature of reality and our relationship with it. For more on this, see quantumReality
