Also referred to as the 'uncertainty' principle, it is a principle in quantum mechanics holding that increasing the accuracy of measurement of one observable quantity increases the uncertainty with which another conjugate quantity may be known.
The basic principle of Quantum Physics is uncertainty. This is at the core of the Uncertainty Principle, Superposition of States, and Quantum Tunneling and Entanglement.Energy can occur only in discrete levels. This 'quantization' is determined by plank's constant6.626068 × 10-34 m2 kg / s
Werner Heisenberg. Born in Munich, Germany in 1901 and died in 1976. Heisenberg examined features of qauntum mechanics that was absent in classical mechanics. Thus created the "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle".
In 1927 Werner Karl Heisenberg published his uncertainty principle stating that you cannot know the precise location of a particle and know its momentum at the same time.
The Heseinberg's Uncertainty Principle states that you cannot know the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. More rigorously stated, the product of the uncertainty of the position of a particle (Δx) and the uncertainty of its momentum (Δp) must be greater than a specified value: ∆x∆p ≥ (h/4π) Now, as the electron approaches the nucleus, it's uncertainty in position decreases (if the electron is 10nm away from the nucleus, it could be anywhere within a spherical shell of radius 10nm, but if the electron is only 0.1nm away from the nucleus, that area is greatly reduced). According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, if you decrease the uncertainty of the electrons position, the uncertainty in its momentum must increase. This increased momentum uncertainty means that the electron will be moving away from the nucleus faster, on average. Put another way, if we do know that at one instant, that the electron is right on top of the nucleus, we lose all information about where the electron will be at the next instant. It could stay at the nucleus, it could be slightly to the left or to the right, or it could very likely be very far away from the nucleus. Therefore, because of the uncertainty principle it is impossible for the electron to fall into the nucleus and stay in the nucleus. In essence, the uncertainty principle causes a sort of quantum repulsion that keeps electrons from being too tightly localized near the nucleus.
The equation of uncertainty principle is ΔxΔp≥ℏ.

the Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle affects the behaviour of orbitals.
The heisenberg uncertainty principle is what you are thinking of. However, the relation you asked about does not exist. Most formalisms claim it as (uncertainty of position)(uncertainty of momentum) >= hbar/2. There is a somewhat more obscure and less useful relation (uncertainty of time)(uncertainty of energy) >= hbar/2. But in this relation the term of uncertainty of time is not so straightforward (but it does have an interesting meaning).
Since it is called "the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle" it is neither a scientific law nor a theory. It is a principle.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which is very important at the subatomic level, has no affect on my daily life.
Einstein is. Check the uncertainty principle.
Werner Heisenberg published this principle in 1927.
