One day, while driving, Heisenberg was stopped by a police car.
“Do you know how fast you were going?” asked the cop.
“No, but I know where I am.” he replied...................
Sounds like this is a bit late to the party. I thought this was well-established by mathematical physics long ago.
Interesting. I’ve wondered about the Uncertainty Principle but every time I got close to understanding it, it got away from me
“Say my name!”
Sorry, I could not help myself...
what is Heisenberg cooking these days . . ?

Quantum mechanics requires that we devise approximate joint measurementsTheoreticians have it easy.
Just plug in a decimal here or an integer there and keep on keepin' on.
I’m reserving judgement until I get Sheldon Cooper’s take on it.
