Before you go, think about this…

An electron is an entity called a Fermion and its properties can be enumerated and expressed mathematically in a consistent way. We cannot picture a Fermion in our minds because we do not experience them on our scale of living except indirectly. Thus “Heisenberg’s Principle<” is not taking us to a mystical Gateway of Religion. It merely expresses a strange property of the little entity that we inadequately imagine as a tiny ball-bearing.
