A Conversation for Physics and the Knowledge of Ignorance
Heisenberg
G Started conversation Oct 25, 1999
I came up with a very nice illustration for Heisenberg's Uncertainty relation; unfortunately it doesn't work in hypertext, as it requires me to be drinking a pint of beer in a pub I've never visited before. So if anyone wants to invite me to a pub I've never been in before and then buy me a pint, I'd be happy to illustrate how the uncertainty relation describes exactly how much naff all we know.
On the other hand, you might find it easier to read a textbook. Especially as I tend to wear army boots when I'm drinking, finding that if I wear sandals the spilt beer soaks into my socks.
