What Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle Actually Means

The video explores the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, addressing common misconceptions and explaining its true nature. It clarifies that the principle is not about measurement but about the superposition of particles in quantum mechanics. The video debunks two popular but incorrect explanations and provides a detailed understanding of the principle, emphasizing that particles cannot be classical in both position and momentum simultaneously. A homework question is posed to reinforce learning.
