Now, what this principle showed was that it showed that as you move downward in size from something large to the subatomic level the less your objects act like particles and the more they act as a wave. In other words, if you get down to the subatomic level to the electrons and protons and neutrons the less your objects act as solid spheres and the more your objects act as waves. Now, to demonstrate what this uncertainty principle states, I'll use the following example. Suppose I have this relatively large ball which, from where you're sitting you can probably tell where the ball is and you can tell if the ball isn't moving so you could tell its velocity. Now, suppose I go smaller. Suppose I hold up this ball.
