Is there a physicist in the house?

Fundamentally you can't disprove Heisenberg with Newtonian laws,
so if you think you can, you are likely wrong (to very high degree of
liklihood). People have already mentioned how acceleration and
smallness can mess up the measurement, but it's probably more than
that. Indirectly related might be the Bose-Einstein concentrate.
Scientists slowed down subatomic particles to a near stop, so they
knew the position and the speed right? Apparently the particles by
theory and by the experiment just "deres" or become big fuzzballs
that have no definite position.

"Nova" is back on the subject of Physics right now. It's funny that just
when we fupposedly figure out subatomic particles, they posit that the
real building blocks are things billions and billions of times smaller
than that.

no, I'm not a Physicist either. I'm the son of an accountant and
an artist, and the result was engineering.
