The Uncertainty Principle Uncertainty

In summary: That being the case a particle at rest in QM is not possible because that would mean knowing it position and momentum simultaneously - unless of course you mean by at rest zero momentum but you don't know where it is - that is possible - but I don't think that's what's usually meant in saying an object is at rest.ThanksBill

Actually the basic rock bottom essence of any science, including physics, is its all provisional, subject to one thing, and one thing only - correspondence with experiment.

I agree. I don't know how, or in what way, anything I said implies anything different. It's the very same point. So perhaps I'll just take your comment as one being in solidarity with mine, rather than one posed as some objection.
