The video explores the Uncertainty Principle, a fundamental concept in quantum physics, which states that one cannot simultaneously know the exact position and speed of an object. This principle arises from the dual nature of particles and waves. The video explains how particles have defined positions, while waves are spread out, and how combining these properties leads to uncertainty in both position and momentum. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, introduced in 1927, is not just a measurement limitation but a fundamental aspect of the universe's structure.
