The Heisenberg principle of uncertainty states that you can’t simultaneously know with high precision both the position and momentum of a particle.
If you know the position, you won’t know the exact momentum and vice-versa.
This is due to the act of measurements induced on the phenomenon being observed.
For example, if we use a specific laser to know the exact position of an atom, the laser would also influence the momentum and we won’t know it.
Translation in everyday life:
Focusing solely on one thing, will distort your ability to have accurate information on the other things.
