Re: Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle



the uncertainty principle applies to all feilds of science in that all objects of study in science are composed of particles to which the uncertainty principle applies, except of course the humanities and such, i mean here teh hard sciences.  Also, the uncertainty principle is linked up with the loss of causality, which affects all sciences too, but only fundamentally.  Either say, biology is thrown out entirely on metaphysical grounds, or it is spared from the destruction of causality.

<<Not really, IMHO it's debatable whether this example has anything to do
with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
is not a general, philosophic statement. Actually, it says that the products
of the uncertainties of place and impulse, as well as of energy and time, of
a particle cannot get smaller than... either the constant h or h/2pi, I
forgot.>>

How did it go from that to the statement in "The Lost World" (Crichton, 1995
p. 271)?

BTW, are there exceptions to this in scientific fields?  Don't answer if
this is redundant...
