  2. Generalized uncertainty principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_uncertainty...

    The Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) represents a pivotal extension of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, incorporating the effects of gravitational forces to refine the limits of measurement precision within quantum mechanics. Rooted in advanced theories of quantum gravity, including string theory and loop quantum gravity, the GUP ...

  3. Uncertainty principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

    The uncertainty principle, also known as Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It states that there is a limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In other words, the more accurately one property is measured ...

  4. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    Published values of G derived from high-precision measurements since the 1950s have remained compatible with Heyl (1930), but within the relative uncertainty of about 0.1% (or 1000 ppm) have varied rather broadly, and it is not entirely clear if the uncertainty has been reduced at all since the 1942 measurement. Some measurements published in ...

  5. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    Hence, the uncertainties in the SI values of the Planck units derive almost entirely from uncertainty in the SI value of G. Compared to Stoney units , Planck base units are all larger by a factor 1 / α ≈ 11.7 {\textstyle {\sqrt {{1}/{\alpha }}}\approx 11.7} , where α {\displaystyle \alpha } is the fine-structure constant .

  6. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    In statistics, propagation of uncertainty (or propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) ...

  7. Measurement uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_uncertainty

    Relative uncertainty is the measurement uncertainty relative to the magnitude of a particular single choice for the value for the measured quantity, when this choice is nonzero. This particular single choice is usually called the measured value, which may be optimal in some well-defined sense (e.g., a mean, median, or mode). Thus, the relative ...

  8. Uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_analysis

    In physical experiments uncertainty analysis, or experimental uncertainty assessment, deals with assessing the uncertainty in a measurement.An experiment designed to determine an effect, demonstrate a law, or estimate the numerical value of a physical variable will be affected by errors due to instrumentation, methodology, presence of confounding effects and so on.

  9. G scale - Wikipedia

    1:29 G scale boxcar by Aristo-Craft on G gauge track 1:32 scale 2-bay offset hopper by Mainline America. G scale or G gauge, also called large scale (45 mm or 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches), is a track gauge for model railways which is often used for outdoor garden railways because of its size and durability.
