The uncertainty principle (Heisenberg's) tells us that we have to let of once certainty in order to find another

Perhaps we must learn to be dynamic with the dissolving of what we think we know in order to find more information in new realms

From Hyperphysics "The position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously measured with arbitrarily high precision. There is a minimum for the product of the uncertainties of these two measurements. There is likewise a minimum for the product of the uncertainties of the energy and time."

Trade-offs.

Hbar is the minimum product of the uncertainties.
