Einstein argued against this statement with the example of a particle passing through a slit, while its formulator argued for its validity by imagining a microscope observing the collision between a photon and an electron.

One alternate formulation of this statement uses the variance in energy and (*) time, instead of the normal quantities. It states that the product of a certain pair of quantities is greater than or equal to h-bar over two. For 10 points, identify this quantum mechanical concept named for a German physicist which states that one cannot simultaneously know both the position and momentum of a particle to arbitrary precision.
