It's a reference to the Uncertainty Principle, a property of quantum mechanics that states that position and momentum cannot be known at the same time. 199.27.133.98 05:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


I may be thinking too much into this, but couldn't she also not want the website to know her mass? Momentum is Mass*Velocity, and Velocity can be derived from change in position 173.245.56.159 05:34, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

  • That was my understanding, too. Moreover, I don't see any humor in applying the uncertainity principle to macroscopic objects. 108.162.254.57 08:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Angular momentum sensors - a.k.a. gyros, not accelerometers. 141.101.80.109 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)


She does not want the website to calculate her mass and therefore her weight. It has nothing to do with the uncertainty principle -- Saints22 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
