One evaluates Tr([x, p]^2), and with completeness       sums finds the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. One can also see       it as a manifestation of wave mechanics, where classical EM waves       obey the relationship =CE=94=CF=89=CE=94t = 1 and for quantum       mechanics E = =C4=A7=CF=89 extends this wave result to quantum       mechanics as the Heisenberg uncertainty.              LC              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
