The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.
--Heisenberg, uncertainty paper, 1927
note - if one could know exactly the position, velocity and other details, one could, in principle, compute the complete future of the universe.
(complete arguement here, however, i would sometimes like to relate it chaos theory)
