Proposed by Werner Heisenberg, this principle states that it is impossible to know both the exact position and the exact momentum of a particle simultaneously. The more precisely we measure one, the less precisely we know the other. 2. Relativity: The Physics of High Speeds and Gravity

Einstein redefined gravity not as a force between masses, but as the curvature of spacetime . Massive objects like stars and planets warp the "fabric" of the universe, and this curvature dictates how objects move. 3. The Standard Model: The Building Blocks Introduction to the Basic Concepts of Modern Ph...

Objects like electrons and photons exhibit properties of both particles and waves. They are neither one nor the other exclusively, but a "quantum" entity that behaves differently depending on how it is measured. Proposed by Werner Heisenberg, this principle states that

Unlike the deterministic nature of classical physics, modern physics is built on . The state of a particle is described by a mathematical "wave-function." Until an observation is made, a particle exists in a superposition of multiple states at once. Relativity: The Physics of High Speeds and Gravity

Albert Einstein’s theories revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and mass.
