Quantum Uncertainty Principle FAQ

Q: What is the Quantum Uncertainty Principle?

A: It's a thing that happens when you try to measure stuff, but it's all like "nah, you can't measure that" and just gives up on you.

Q: Is it like, a law of physics or something?

A: Oh, it's like the law, but more like the weird, confusing, totally-not-a-law of physics. Like, don't ask us.

Q: What's the deal with the cat?

A: Schrödinger's cat? That's just a thing that's simultaneously here and not here, because, you know, Schrödinger's cat is a real thing.

Q: Can I use it to, like, cheat on a test or something?

A: Uh, no. That's not how it works. You'll just end up with a bunch of cat-astrophically wrong answers.
