Frank Wilczek: Physics of Quarks, Dark Matter, Complexity, Life & Aliens | Lex Fridman Podcast #187
Lex Fridman
A foundational concept in quantum mechanics, stating that the more precisely one measures the position of a particle, the less precisely one can measure its momentum, and vice versa. It's the physical correlate of complementarity in quantum mechanics.

Judea Pearl: Causal Reasoning, Counterfactuals, and the Path to AGI | Lex Fridman Podcast #56
Lex Fridman
A fundamental principle in quantum mechanics stating that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot be simultaneously known with perfect accuracy.

How to Build a Universe: A Conversation with Frank Wilczek (Episode #238)
Sam Harris
A fundamental limit in quantum mechanics stating that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot be simultaneously known with high precision.

Michio Kaku: Future of Humans, Aliens, Space Travel & Physics | Lex Fridman Podcast #45
Lex Fridman
A fundamental principle in quantum mechanics that suggests it's impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle.

Janna Levin: Black Holes, Wormholes, Aliens, Paradoxes & Extra Dimensions | Lex Fridman Podcast #468
Lex Fridman
A fundamental principle of quantum mechanics stating that one cannot precisely know a particle's position and momentum simultaneously, leading to the idea of a 'seething quantum sea' in the vacuum.

Fireside Chat #5: Fitness myths, music, determinism, and the infamous 'Florida Man'
Stronger By Science
A quantum mechanics principle that makes perfect prediction of all particle positions and momenta impossible, thus rendering strict classical determinism unprovable through such means.

PBS Space Time
A fundamental principle stating that certain properties of an object are fundamentally uncertain; it describes the smallest distance for which an object's location can be meaningfully defined.
