The uncertainty principle lies in the planequantum mechanics, but to fully disassemble it, let us turn to the development of physics in general. Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are perhaps the most famous physicists in the history of mankind. The first at the end of the XVII century formulated the laws of classical mechanics, which obeys all the bodies surrounding us, the planets that are subject to inertia and gravity. The development of the laws of classical mechanics led the scientific world towards the end of the nineteenth century to the view that all the basic laws of nature are already open, and man can explain any phenomenon in the universe.
The theory of relativity of Einstein
As it turned out, at that time, onlythe tip of the iceberg, further research has given scientists new, completely unbelievable facts. Thus, at the beginning of the 20th century it was discovered that the propagation of light (which has a finite velocity of 300,000 km / s) does not obey the laws of Newtonian mechanics. According to the formulas of Isaac Newton, if the body or wave is emitted by a moving source, its velocity will be equal to the sum of the source's speed and its own. However, the wave properties of the particles were of a different nature. Numerous experiments with them have demonstrated that in electrodynamics, young at that time, science, an entirely different set of rules works. Already then Albert Einstein, together with the German theoretical physicist Max Planck, introduced his famous theory of relativity, which describes the behavior of photons. However, for us now is not so much its essence as much the fact that at that moment a fundamental incompatibility of the two fields of physics was revealed, to combine
The Birth of Quantum Mechanics
Finally, the myth of a comprehensiveclassical mechanics study of the structure of atoms. Experiments of Ernest Rutherford in 1911 demonstrated that the atom has in its composition even smaller particles (called protons, neutrons and electrons). Moreover, they also refused to interact under the laws of Newton. The study of these tiny particles and gave rise to new postulates of quantum mechanics for the learned world. Thus, it is possible that the ultimate understanding of the universe lies not only and not so much in the study of stars, but in the study of the smallest particles that give the most interesting picture of the world at the micro level.
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle
In the 1920s, quantum mechanics took its first steps, and scientists only
