Physics: Uncertainty Principle

The Uncertainty Principle speaks for itself in ways- it's uncertain. Scientists are uncertain about certain aspects of quantum physics. Reason being, we (huamns) influence a situation just by obsering particles. This "influence" inhibits quantum physicists from figuing out the velocity and speed of particles. Even photons, the smallest measurement of light, can move the particles around, directly affecting the particle's velocity and speed.

As they (scientists) say, energy never dies or is erased but rather transfers somewhere else when it's not where it originally was noticed (or unnoticed for that matter). Since observing something is an example of using energy (because if it wasn't, there wouldn't be any observing taking place?), the energy from us (humans) changes the particles that are being looked at as the energy of observing changes the measurements- of speed and velocity- of the object.

Scientist have experimented with "particle accelerators" which basically remove any physical human influence from the process of accelerating a particle's energy of motion, but the results even with this addition are still disrupted.

With this information, which sounds fairly simple even though is not understood, there is basically no other way to define what is happening except by succumbing to "uncertainty." I certainly don't have a reasoning as to why this is the case nor any round about. But, it is interesting to think that theoretically there is uncertainty defined in Science (even though there is much uncertainty when delving into other aspects of "Science"). Maybe we are just not supposed to know about the unseeable particles, energy that moves around us that which Scientists are so curious about. It's like the bridge between what is not seen at all- in terms of the light spectrum- and our ability to see through only a small portion of it- these particles are there, and studied, but have abilities we can only stay uncertain about.
