Heisenberg : uncertainty principle

  • Heisenberg is out for a drive when he's stopped by a traffic cop.
    The cop says, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
    Heisenberg says, "No, but I know where I am."
  • You've perhaps seen or heard of old inns that have plaques on the wall of a room saying, for example: "George Washington slept here."
    Well, There's apparently an inn in Germany with their own plaque.
    It says: "Heisenberg may have slept here."

the less precisely the MOMENTUM is known"
