What is the uncertainty principle and how does it relate to the measurement of particles?
I'm trying to understand the uncertainty principle and its implications for particle measurement. From what I've read, it seems that the principle states that we cannot simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle. Can someone explain this concept in more detail and provide examples of how it has been observed in experiments? Additionally, how does the uncertainty principle affect the accuracy of particle measurements, and what are some potential solutions or workarounds to this problem? I'm interested in learning more about this topic and any insights would be greatly appreciated.
