What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
- The principle that states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases over time
- The principle that states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
- The principle that states that the more precisely the position of a particle is known, the less precisely its momentum can be known (correct)
