Momentum Particles Position Property

In summary, the uncertainty principle states that for any pair of non-commuting observables, such as position and momentum, we cannot accurately measure both to infinite precision at the same time. This has been tested through experiments and has been found to be true. Additionally, the idea that microscopic particles possess definite positions and momentum is incorrect, as it has been disproven by experiments and is inconsistent with the statistical consequences of the uncertainty principle. The concept of a living electron actively observing its own position and momentum is not sensible, as we can only measure these properties through external observation. Overall, quantum mechanics has been extensively confirmed through various experiments, providing a high level of confidence in its accuracy in describing our universe.
