What is Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

Formulated by the German physicist and Nobel laureate Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the uncertainty principle states that we cannot know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or electron, with perfect accuracy ; the more we nail down the particle’s position, the less we know about its speed and vice …
