[MD] principle of complimentarity

[X Acto]

Marsha,

I believe it seems to exclude a particles momentum or trajectory simply because
of the limits of the measuring devices and the gravitational effects it has on them.

For starters, mainly because particles are not really entities or substances but an intersection
of fields of force.
As I understand it, particles are layers apon layers of said intersections built up from a backround
of these fields of "force" for lack of a better word,  manifesting in strong and weak atomic forces.

The popular theory at the moment, which the super collider hoped to verify, was that all of this
is a manifestation of the field of space, or string theory, that space is composed of fluctuating
quantum rings.
Objectivly speaking, reality is a dream within a dream within a dream...et infinum

so measuring is a bit of a problem, objectivly. Complimentrarity, says that these particles
and forces only exist in relation to eachother. to isolate them and calculte their trajectory
is misunderstanding them, it creates paradox. like the particle/wave duality, the duality
lies in how the phenomena is measured not in the phenomena itself.

So to conclude, the problem is in how physicists understand particles and the limits of the
methods of measurement.

Greetings,



Why is it that if we perform an experiment to determine a quantum particle's
position, it excludes knowing only the particle's momentum and not
everything else?
