Nothing thrilled me more the bizarre nature of subatomic particles in my college school days. Everything about Quantum Mechanics or Physics was and is still very interesting to me especially the laws and principles such as the THE DOUBLE SPLIT EXPERIMENT, EINSTEIN’S TIME DILATION, UNCERTAINTITY PRINCIPLE, SPACE-TIME, ETHER, to mention a few.

I was so in love with these theories, ideas and principles that I spent 40% of my school time in our school library buried in the many and sometimes scary nature of our subatomic particles far above the world of ‘Gross Matter’. To be honest, I missed so much missing classes and I also gained a lot. When I successfully and single-handedly build the first and the only Periscope in my school, I was given scholarship and made the Vice president of my school science club: JUNIOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTIST CLUB (JETs club) and also doubled as the physics and chemistry laboratory prefect.

Here I am going to be talking about the UNCERTAINTITY PRINCIPLE.

Faced with the many and bizarre problems and behavior of the moving electron in the nucleus of the atom, scientist and physicists in the 19^th century made so many predictions to determine where the electron could be at a particular time. But all theories, laws and ideas to pin the electron to a fix position proved futile until Heisenberg  came with his Uncertainty Principle which for the sake of simplicity states that: the more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. With this understanding, scientists’ and engineers were able to develop the first Nuclear weapon and other breakthroughs in the field of

nuclear physics.

I am still interested in Quantum physics and who knows I might just be the first African to develop a Nuclear Weapon since president Buhari recently signed a document that will see Nigeria and Nigerians going into arms production .LOL
