And particles of sound, known as phonons, are just as susceptible to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as particles of light (photons) or, indeed, any other fundamental particle.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the central tenets of quantum mechanics, maintains that you cannot pin down all the physical properties of a particle at the same time.

That is the limit imposed by Heisenberg's famous uncertainty principle (which states that the precision of a time measurement is limited by the precision of a corresponding energy measurement).

Einstein had objected to Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and, in general, to the statistics-based, ultimately random foundation of life Bohr was promoting.
