Heisenberg s uncertainity principle

In summary, there is uncertainty in understanding the existence of protons, neutrons, and alpha particles in the nucleus as well as electrons in atoms. It is believed that these particles and forces are inherent characteristics of our universe, but the reason for their observation and behavior is still unknown. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle may provide some insights, but it is not a simple concept to grasp. It is recommended to start a new thread and clearly state the specific question in order to receive a better response.

Your question is unclear.

Electrons in atoms. I want the answer to that.
 
  • #5
try a question we all know electrons are orbitting atoms, is there a specific question in regards to that?
 
  • #6
No one knows WHY we observe the particles we do.

No one knows why we observe the forces we do.

They ARE characteristics of our universe...we are stuck with them!

have a specific question about that:

It's not a simple 'principle'.

There is something very strange about this post, almost as if it is not from Matterwave at all.

This thread is going nowhere fast. Baljit, please start again with a new thread. Try to explain what you are asking about. I think English is not your first language, so this is probably difficult for you, but you must try to state your question better. In this thread people cannot understand what you are asking about.
 

FAQ: Heisenberg s uncertainity principle

What is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, also known as the uncertainty principle or the indeterminacy principle, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It states that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle.

Who discovered Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle was first proposed by German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927.

What is the significance of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle fundamentally changed the way we understand the behavior of particles at the subatomic level. It also has many practical applications in fields such as quantum computing and cryptography.

How does Heisenberg's uncertainty principle relate to the wave-particle duality?

The wave-particle duality principle states that particles, such as electrons, can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is a direct consequence of this principle, as it shows that it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of a particle with certainty.

Are there any exceptions to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

No, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics and applies to all particles at the subatomic level. However, its effects may not be noticeable at larger scales, where classical mechanics can be used as an accurate description of the behavior of objects.
