What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: Explained in Simple Words

The video explains the difference between measuring speed in the macroscopic world and the challenges faced when measuring atomic particles. It introduces the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that one cannot measure both the position and momentum of a particle with absolute precision. The concept of wave-particle duality is also discussed, highlighting how light and matter can exhibit both wave and particle characteristics. This duality affects how we measure and understand particles at the quantum level.
