Uncertainty: Process & Final

Research

The Uncertainty Principle attests that we can never measure the position and the momentum of a particle with absolute precision because of the wave-particle duality. It states that all objects can act as a wave and object at the same time. A wave packet then, like a particle is a composite of many waves and must, therefore, be made of many momentums. However, an object with many momentums further proves that measuring momentum at a specific position is intrinsically uncertain.

Final

Application of visual mark: Today, light is known as a collection of photon(s) propagating through space as electromagnetic waves, which accounts for the dual nature of light. Therefore I’ve applied my visual mark on a cloth-like surface to illustrate the propagation of light as a wave (to our common knowledge) and particle (quantum). Visually, the horizontal vibration and movement account for the fuzzy displacement of the particle, as explored in the uncertainty principle.
