Oh wait... this was with the cat and radiation in the box thing, no? You can't determine the state of something unless you take a second peek in the box.
You can't determine the velocity of a particle without taking a second snapshot at a different time... why you can't know the position then I don't understand... Please tell me!
There's still so much to learn.
