| Subject: Correction: Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics Thu Sep 09, 2010 11:11 pm | |
| An article on Tuesday about the effectiveness of various study habits described incorrectly the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics. The principle holds that the act of measuring one property of a particle (position, for example) reduces the accuracy with which you can know another property (momentum, for example) — not that the act of measuring a property of the particle alters that property.
