(Heisenberg called this matrix mechanics, soon shown to be equivalent to Erwin Schrödinger's more visualizable wave theory.) The uncertainty principle was hard even for scientists to accept at first.

In new research, scientists from Aalto University in Finland say they’ve skirted the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle that underpins—or undermines—every experiment in quantum mechanics.

Werner Heisenberg's high school years ... He tied this up in an equation using Planck's constant, and called it the uncertainty principle. While many resisted this idea, it eventually became ...
