[Verse 1] Werner stood in his lab one day Watching particles dance and sway He tried to measure where they'd been But something strange was happening The more precise he tracked their place The faster momentum would erase A fundamental truth emerged That classical physics never heard [Chorus] You can't know both, you can't know all Position and momentum's call Delta x times delta p Greater than h-bar constantly Uncertainty's the quantum way No perfect knowledge here to stay The more you pin one value down The other spreads without a sound [Verse 2] It's not the tools that make us blind Not clumsy hands or flawed design The universe itself conspires To hide what perfect knowledge requires When photons bounce to help us see They kick particles randomly Observation changes what we find Reality and knowledge intertwined [Chorus] You can't know both, you can't know all Position and momentum's call Delta x times delta p Greater than h-bar constantly Uncertainty's the quantum way No perfect knowledge here to stay The more you pin one value down The other spreads without a sound [Bridge] Planck's constant sets the limit tight Six point six times ten to minus thirty-four tonight This isn't just philosophy It's mathematics showing us reality Every quantum system obeys this rule From electrons to the molecules [Verse 3] So when you hear of quantum threats Remember what this principle begets Perfect encryption finds its ground In uncertainty's profound What cannot be precisely known Becomes security's cornerstone Heisenberg showed us the way Uncertainty is here to stay [Chorus] You can't know both, you can't know all Position and momentum's call Delta x times delta p Greater than h-bar constantly Uncertainty's the quantum way No perfect knowledge here to stay The more you pin one value down The other spreads without a sound [Outro] In the quantum realm we find Limits to the human mind Uncertainty's not our mistake It's the rule that atoms make
