Heisenberg principle

“There’s a whole issue as to whether the camera changes behavior — the pretentious way of talking about it is, ‘Does the Heisenberg principle apply to documentary filmmaking?’ — but in my experience, 99.9 percent of the people don’t act for the camera,” he said.

The Heisenberg principle still holds for squeezed light states, but when one of the uncertainties is reduced, the other is increased.

The Heisenberg Principle asserts that it's impossible to know the "position" of something while simultaneously studying its movement.

This is an interesting, if distracting, development, and removes some of the aspiration to unbiased reporting on Mr. Assange, Mr. Snowden — who puts in an appearance here — and other critics of online censorship seen in the doc, and will likely stoke more debates as to the Heisenberg principle.

Luis Garicano at the London School of Economics calls it the Heisenberg Principle of incentive design, after the defining uncertainty of quantum physics: A performance metric is only useful as a performance metric as long as it isn’t used as a performance metric.
