Because quantum mechanics is universal, the Uncertainty Principle always holds for any system, regardless of its energy scale. For instance, in a particle‐in‐a‐box model at large n (the classical limit), we still have Δx Δp≥ℏ2. However, at high energy, measuring the particle’s position need not significantly disturb its momentum. In practical terms, this means we can effectively measure both position and momentum simultaneously without seeing a noticeable “quantum kick,” even though the Uncertainty Principle is still valid in a strict, mathematical sense.
Hence, the usual phrase “we can’t know position and momentum at the same time” doesn’t strictly apply in this case, so it's better to say that the principle is only a statistical statement about the wavefunction’s position‐space and momentum‐space spreads, rather than a literal prohibition on simultaneously measuring both observables.
This leads us to reconsider the meaning of this principle even at low energies, particularly since the very concept of velocity is unclear in the quantum realm. Consequently, it seems we can only describe the principle as it is—a purely statistical law—while its interpretation at the individual (single‐particle) level remains unresolved.
