Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / quantum indeterminacy (is that the right word?)
« on: 23/08/2008 02:57:16 »
I know that it is impossible, according to the laws of quantum mechanics, to know everything about one particle.
Because of this, there are certain combinations of things we cannot know about a single particle.
The problem is, I forget which these are.
There is more than one pair of things we cannot know, right?
What are some of the pairs of things we cannot know?
Also, for any of these pairs of things we cannot know, how could I build/buy a machine to measure each?
