The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
(Δx Δp ≳ ℏ)
• Implies that there really is no such thing as 'a particle is at 𝑥 with momentum 𝑝'
• That is, the more narrow the 𝑥-PDF |Ψ(x)|², the more broad the 𝑝-PDF |Φ(p)|² will become & vice versa (

We can say this only of asymptotic non interacting states, which we do in the LHC

In essence I am not arguing against Heissenbergs principle. I am arguing against applying it to a single event, when it is an expression on ensambles/many events.
