Title: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle reveals that as we penetrate deeper into the subatomic world we reach a certain point at which one part or another of our picture of nature becomes blurred, and there is no way to reclarify that part of the picture without blurring another part. It is as though we were adjusting a moving picture that is slightly out of focus. As we make the final adjustment, we are astonish to discover that when the right side of the picture clears, the left side of the picture becomes completely unfocused and nothing in it is recognizable. When we try to focus the left side the rigth side starts to blur and soon the situation is reversed. If we try to strike a balance beteen these two extremes, both sides of the picture return to a recognizable condition, but we can't remove the original fuzziness from them.
