Introduction
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle states that we can’t measure the position and momentum of a particle with 100 percent certainty. If we increase the certainty in one of these two, the certainty in the other quantity decreases. This, sometimes, seems to be nonsense, even, I am not completely satisfied with this principle. One argument against it can be that if we know the present position and momentum (that is, mass × velocity) of Earth, Sun and our Moon, we can find out when will the next solar or lunar eclipse will take place by using Newton’s laws. But these big objects have very small uncertainty in their position and momentum, this is because uncertainty in position multiplied by uncertainty in momentum is always greater than half of reduced Planck’s constant and the value of half of reduced Planck’s constant is 52 × 10-35, which is a very small value, so, objects far larger than an atom have a very small amount of uncertainty in their position and momentum. This proof of uncertainty principle is ‘mathematical’ rather than ‘physical’. So, how one can prove the uncertainty principle?
