Predictive capabilities limited by quantum uncertainty from "summary" of The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking,Leonard Mlodinow
In the strange world of quantum mechanics, particles like electrons don't have definite positions or speeds until they are measured. Instead, they exist in a haze of probability. This inherent uncertainty at the quantum level limits our ability to predict the behavior of particles with absolute certainty.
Even if we know everything about a particle's current state, we can't predict its future behavior with certainty due to quantum uncertainty. This is not because of a lack of knowledge or precision in measurement, but rather a fundamental aspect of the nature of particles at the quantum level.
The uncertainty principle, first formulated by Werner Heisenberg, states that there is a fundamental limit to how precisely we can know certain pairs of properties of a particl...
