# nah, the
uncertainty principle just tells you about things in motion. i think it was godel who proved that in any axiomatic system you can't actually prove everything, i.e. there is no proof that parallel lines never meet, you just have to accept as part of the definition. or something. but it may not have been him.

edit: freshlegs, look up here. cheers.

# ah but the uncertainty principle says
that for any subatomic particle, the more you know about the momentum of a particle, the less you can know about its position, and hence you cannot know both.
