Heisenberg was operating at the level of Einstein. None of us on SI are qualified academically to challenge anything he said. And it certainly has nothing to do with evolution. That's a whole different concept. It has to do with the laws of physics. And no one understands quantum physics. All we know is that the equations work. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle was the one number debate of the last century between Heisenberg and the quantum physics people, Niels Bohr, etc, and Einstein and his people. In the end Einstein admitted defeat Heisenberg's theories have been scrutinized by the world scientific community for almost a hundred years and they are solid. What Heisenberg was saying is that you can never know both the position and momentum of anything absolutely. The more you know about one the less you know about the other. Everything in physics is a probability, nothing is for certain. In essence the Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that a person will always be uncertain about anything to certain degree of probability. Einstein did not like that and said: "god does not play dice with the universe. but the quantum guys said he does and in a dark closet. <<There you go challenging again. Not a good idea to challenge him. Better to try and understand him. <<< Of course I did, its what I do. I understand the application of the Uncertainty Principle with regards to quantum physics. Heisenberg referred to a specific thing existing in a point in time, not why it was in the state it was at that point in time and why states change (from nothing to something and on and on...evolution). You applied the Uncertainty Principle to the "why" question. The popular idea of the uncertainty principle often gets mis-applied in this manner and is unchallenged. That application is flawed as I demonstrated. The question now becomes, did you not understand the logic of my challenge? Do you disagree with it, how so?
