 DM> 3. "HOW DOES"  the "UP"  prevent accurate measurement by

The Uncertainty Principle, articulated by Werner Heisenberg, states ...
the position AND the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly,
, even in theory.   position OR velocity might be
measured with reasonable accuracy ... but not both.  Does that help?
The complete rule stipulates that the product of the uncertainties in
position and velocity is equal to or greater than a tiny physical quantity,
or constant (about 10^-34 joule-second, the value of the quantity h/(2pi),
where h is Planck's constant).  Only for the exceedingly small masses of
atoms and subatomic particles does the product of the uncertainties become
significant.

Happy Yuletide, and Wassail, David.  :)
