Abstract

Popper believed that Heisenberg misinterpreted the theory of indeterminism, since the limits of attainable precision asserted by Heisenberg is not a logical consequence of the formula of the theory but rather, a separate and additional assumption. Popper believed that Heisenberg’s explanation of uncertainty principle includes metaphysical elements rendering it non-falsifiable. By proposing ‘statistical scatter’, Popper offered a new interpretation of uncertainty principle in order to show this additional assumption, prove that the possibility of observations more exact than what Heisenberg thought, is consisted with the formulae, and if formula of quantum be statistically interpreted, the additional metaphysical assumption actually contradicts them.
