Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is the principle that states that the momentum and the position of a quantum particle can not be simultaneously accurately known. This means that the more precisely you know the momentum, the less you know about the position and vice-versa.

Is the Uncertainty Principle a scientific law or theory?

Since it is called "the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle" it is neither a scientific law nor a theory. It is a principle.


States that is imposible to know both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time?

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).


What is the significance of uncertainty principle in your daily life?

The uncertainty principle states that there is a fundamental limit to how precisely we can know certain pairs of properties of a particle. While this concept might not directly impact our daily lives in obvious ways, it underpins our understanding of the behavior of particles at the quantum level, which has implications for technology, such as in the development of quantum computing and modern electronics.


Who develped a principle that says it is impossible to know both location and mass of an electron at the same time?

Werner Heisenberg developed this principle, known as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.


Proof of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle. This principle arises from the wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics, where the act of measuring one quantity disrupts the other. Mathematically, the principle is represented by the inequality Δx * Δp ≥ ħ/2, where Δx is the uncertainty in position, Δp is the uncertainty in momentum, and ħ is the reduced Planck constant.
