Can Uncertianty be Quantified?

Featured Replies

If so, how? And if not, why?

 

I can handle a fairly complex science and/or math.

But, of course, the simpler the better.

It depends what you mean.

 

If you're talking quantum physics, then you're working towards the heisenberg uncertainty principle.

 

If not, you're looking at possible variation due to inaccurate tools.

Plancks Constant is written as :h:

geckopelli said in post #7 :

The "names" of the variables expressed as d, p and x?

 

d is differential, p is momentum, x is position, E is energy, t is time

 

:delta:x:delta:p is how it's usually written, where :delta: is the uncertainty in the variable that follows it
