  • $\begingroup$ The principle does tend conclude that the outcome of events in the universe is indeterminable and also at the risk of controversy the causality we observe and the use of the models we construct from our perception come into question, and if the principle is correct at least it concludes your fate is in your own hands and we are as the red hot chilli peppers put it " this life is more than just a read through" $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 18:50
  • $\begingroup$ The models we use are just that: models. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 19:16
  • $\begingroup$ Heisenberg uncertainty principle then limits what information any observer can perceive and questions the validity of what we perceive and the truth of what is actually going on. Our perception of events is limited by the principle and any inference about from what we observe and what we draw from it is purely only our speculation and can never be actually proved to be true or not. So again it makes it futile to even bother in coming up with a model because any model predisposes causality and it simply isn't there $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 19:22
  • $\begingroup$ The Quantum Mechanical Model has the HUP built into it. It is a VERY good model. So good, in fact, experiments have yet to disprove any predicitions that arise from it. This doesnt mean we are even close to completing the model: there are many predicions that we cannot yet prove or disprove, simply because the energy levels arent high enough and the measurement devices aren't precise enough. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 19:30

    $\begingroup$ HUP-- Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. It's definition is built into the quantum mechanical model, so the model itself deals with probabilities. We use the model because it works so well, and for no other reason. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 20:04
