Uh dude, you read your particle physics differently than I do. I like to paraphrase the Pauli Exclusion Principle as “everybody has to be somewhere” + “nobody can be two somewheres at once”. Still doesn't help, but you might be thinking of the Hiesenberg Uncertainty Principle (something like) “you can EITHER know a particles direction and speed, OR you can know its location, but never both.”

I appreciate your pointing this out and expanding on this subject. However, there is either a principle or science has observed in Quantum Physics a thing being in two places at once. I think I learned about this from the movie, "What The Bleep Do We Know, Down The Rabbit Hole." I could have interpreted this information wrong, but I believe I understood what the scientist was indicating.

What sticks out the most in my mind is Jeffrey Satinover, MD. who made this statement relayed, "We don't see a part of a particle in two different places, but we see THE particle in two different places."

Now, I remember this because the statement simple blew me away. And he was trying to explain it so people would definately understand, "a thing was in two places at once, not "part" of the same thing."
