Werner Heisenberg Found the Uncertainty Principle by Accident

[00:00:00]I can't stop thinking about this.

[00:00:01]Heisenberg wasn't trying to discover the uncertainty principle. He was just doing math. In 1925, while working on electron behavior, [music] he noticed something terrifying. Changing the order changed reality itself. That tiny mathematical crack became one of the most important discoveries [music] in physics, the uncertainty principle. And here's the part that breaks people. This is not a limitation of our [music] technology.

[00:00:22]The universe literally does not contain perfect information about both where a particle is and how fast it moves at the same time. Not hidden.

[00:00:30]Not waiting to be discovered.

[00:00:32]>> [music] >> Undefined. Right now, every atom in your body obeys this rule, which means reality itself has limits built into [music] its foundation. New video just dropped. And the final implication genuinely made me stop editing for a minute.
