Is there a connection between Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Godel's Incompleteness Theorems?
Yes there is. Both of them describe what cannot be know about a system: HUP describes how the velocity and the position (and EVERYTHING that contains these variables in any form), cannot both be known exactly. HUP defines precisely what the error must be. GIT describes how elements of a logic system can never be known with absolute precision (and can be shown to be ultimately inconsistent) given that a finite number of axioms define the system. GIT does not define the error, but does relate to entire mathematics and logic systems. Read "Godel, Escher, Bach", for wild ride and further discussion. This subject has been discussed in hundreds of theses and term papers since the 1930's.

What is the minimum kinetic energy that can be calculated according to the uncertainty principle?
The minimum kinetic energy that can be calculated according to the uncertainty principle is known as the zero-point energy.
What are virtual particle pairs?
As I understand it, one has to look at Heisenbergs principle of uncertainty in which he states that 'The more precisely the position of a particle is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known'. Apparantly this concept of uncertainty can be applied to the amount of energy that can be contained in a vacuum. The energy in this vacuum is always constant but due to the uncertainty principle there will always be some uncertainty which will provide access for a 'nonzero energy' to enter that vacuum, and temporarily remain there. Because energy equals matter and the reverse, the uncertainty fluctuations are able to produce 'particle pairs' a particle and anti-particle. Because they cannot be directly measured they are called 'virtual particles'. Professor Hawkings has theorised that if black holes do emit any form of thermal radiation, it might be due to the existence of these particles separating at the event horizon.
Which german scientist formulated the 'uncertainty principal'?
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.
What is the Heisenburg principle?
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.
What are some example problems that demonstrate the application of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
Some example problems that demonstrate the application of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle include calculating the uncertainty in position and momentum of a particle, determining the minimum uncertainty in energy and time measurements, and analyzing the limitations in simultaneously measuring the position and velocity of a quantum particle.
Is Heisenbergs uncertainity principle still relevant after the direct observation of quantum particles by 2012 Nobel physics winners?
Yes. As expected by physicists these experiments did not invalidate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
How did Heisenbergs uncertainty principle challenge the Newtonian world view?
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle challenged the Newtonian world view by showing that at the quantum level, it is impossible to precisely measure both the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. This contradicted the deterministic nature of classical physics, where the position and momentum of a particle could be known with certainty. It introduced the idea of inherent uncertainty and indeterminacy into the fundamental principles of physics.
Write the equation of uncertainty principle?
The equation of uncertainty principle is ΔxΔp≥ℏ.
What are the release dates for Uncertainty Principle - 2010 I?
Uncertainty Principle - 2010 I was released on: USA: January 2010
What is the relation between orbital concept and heisenberg's uncertainty principle?
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle affects the behaviour of orbitals.
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.
Where was the uncertainty principle founded?
Germany
What actors and actresses appeared in The Uncertainty Principle - 2011?

When was The Uncertainty Principle - The Spectacular Spider-Man - created?
The Uncertainty Principle - The Spectacular Spider-Man - was created on 2008-05-10.
Who is right regarding uncertainty Einstein or Freud?
Einstein is. Check the uncertainty 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).
Who was best known for his uncertainty principle?
Werner Heisenberg published this principle in 1927.
