Thread Name: The Musician's Uncertainty Principle
Subject: The Musician's Uncertainty Principle
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the musician's uncertainty principle.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle follows from a classical result, which is at least as old as Fourier. We prefer to introduce it as the Musician's Uncertainty Principle. This page explains the classical result and uses sound files to demonstrate it. It then shows how the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle follows directly from the classical observation.
