Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

lyrics

The quantum world can be a touch absurd,
Describable in numbers but nonsense in words,
Where waves are really particles,
And particles are blurry,
What can we infer from all of this.

Everett said that there are infinite realities,
The Copenhagen explanations sounds like insanity,
With consciousness effecting ,
Wavy particle dualities,
But the actualities are rather mysterious,

There is a principle that there ain't no denying
So learn from Werner Heisenberg and you will be flying
If you want a formula that you can rely on,
Then I got one for you.

With Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle you can be uncertain for sure,
With Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle you know where you are and what's more,
If you know where you are, you can't know your momentum \ ,
Even if you're Niels Bohr (he's smart),
But you can certainly be certain how uncertain you are sir,
With Heisenberg's Uncertainty Law

When you are measuring little things,
There's a limit to how accurate you're measuring,
And its defined by an equation,
And the equation really swings,
So I'll sing it and you can see.

The standard deviation of the Postion's imprecision,
Times the standard deviation of the momentum's imprecision,
Is greater than or equal to
Plancks constant over 2
It s the same for time and energy
