- The Newtonian Mechanics gave us the laws of nature by which all objects of visible size move about. But, with the discovery of atomic structures we found out that it did not quite work for very small objects which build atoms. Only the Quantum Mechanics gave us the appropriate laws which include objects down to the size of an atomic radius. Principle of Uncertainty is one of the fundamentals of the Quantum Mechanics without which the modern technology just could not exist. It has also important philosophical implications by stating that there is a limit to the precision with which nature can be observed. Such an idea is too close to God and since Marxists do not recognize any gods the Principle of Uncertainty was therefore unacceptable. The 16th century Vatican would have barbecued Galileo for saying that the Earth turns around the Sun, but he recanted. Moscow was kinder; they just found you crazy to believe in uncertainty and you received much certain attention in the Gulags.
