I'm not a physics student, but doesn't the Uncertainty Principle merely state that we cannot both know the velocity and position of a particle exactly? That is, isn't it an epistemological principle, not an ontological principle? I mean, I hate to give determinists any extra ammunition, but I'd just as soon be accurate about this sort of thing.
