Werner Heisenberg discovered the uncertainty principle, which states that the position and the momentum of an object cannot both be known exactly. The combined uncertainty for position and momentum is equal to or greater than h/(4π), where h is Planck’s constant, and thus is significant only for very small objects like atoms or subatomic particles.
