geckopelli Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 If so, how? And if not, why? I can handle a fairly complex science and/or math. But, of course, the simpler the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 fafalone said in post #4 :dp x dx >:h:/(2x:pi:) That should be h, not :h:, since :h:=h/2:pi: The relationship also works for dE x dT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geckopelli Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 The "names" of the variables expressed as d, p and x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 fafalone said in post #6 :Plancks Constant is written as :h: No, it's written as h, but since the 2:pi: shows up a lot, :h: is useful. e.g. E=h:nu: = :h::lcomega: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
