The uncertainty principle (put forward by Heisenberg) states that there will always be an intrinsic uncertainty in determining both a particle's position and momentum (i.e., you cannot know both exactly at the same time).
This has nothing to do with science's ability to detect the properties of momentum and position as some anti-science and pseudoscience proponents suggest, it is merely an intrinsic property of the universe.
It is also put forward by some to be the origin of "free will" as the uncertainty principle leads to a degree of unpredictability in some experiments; however, the scale of the uncertainty principle is far too small for it to apply to everyday life. Right.
