HEISENBERG CERTAINTY
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is often raised by those in the Theoretical Physics realm. It is demonstrably false.
Let's consider what the Principle says (it was mainly concerned with electrons in atoms). In Heisenberg's own words:
It can be expressed in its simplest form as follows: One can never know with perfect accuracy both of those two important factors which determine the movement of one of the smallest particles—its position and its velocity. It is impossible to determine accurately both the position and the direction and speed of a particle at the same instant.
Let's explore what he posits, in my simplified example: Let's use stock car oval track racing, considering only the on track speeds and positions during green flag racing.
There are really 3 lines around the track, bottom and middle and top. So we have 3 positions for our car.
Speeds vary from maybe 115 to 130, depending on if the car is on a corner or short straight, so that's our range for speed.
Since the bottom line is the most often preferred and the average speed is, say, 120,we can generalize and say any given car is most likely going 120 on the bottom.
Heisenberg's point is that as we reduce the number of cars we look at, the more their average will vary from this generality. We might choose ten cars, only 2 of which are on the bottom. Or maybe the ten will be from the slowest 20.
And if we pick a single car on the bottom, it could be going any speed from 115 to 130. Similarly, if we look for a single car doing a particular speed, maybe 123, it may be in the middle, or top, or bottom.
Therefore, he concludes, while we are relatively certain that any random car will be doing 120 on the bottom, the greater the specificity of either position or speed, the less certain we are of the other factor. Hence the Uncertainty Principle.
Theoretical Physicists take this to the next level and thereby develop the Principle of Zero Point Motion (also known as Quantum Jitters) for atomic particles at a temperature of Absolute Zero. At Absolute Zero, all molecular motion is claimed to end.
Using Heisenberg's Principle, there is 0 speed, but since you cannot be certain where the particle is, it must be moving slightly. Similarly, when you pinpoint where it is, you cannot be certain how fast it is moving, again showing it must be moving slightly.
Nonsense.
The Grand Flaw in Heisenberg's reasoning is simple: speed is the time taken to move between 2 points. In order to measure speed, you need a starting point and, more importantly, a finishing point. It is in stone, even in quantum stone, that if you can measure the speed of anything, at the very instant you measure that speed, you must know exactly where it is. Period.
It should be called the Certainty Principle:
At the very instant you measure speed, you know with certainty the position.
Every tenant of Theoretical Physics that depends on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is built on false reasoning. The shame is that they still claim it to be Science.
