You mean the
Observer Effect in particle/wave effect observations, not the
uncertainty principle that basically states that there is not enough variables to measure the properties of a sub-atomic particle, meaning, say; you measure the velocity of an electron, you then cannot measure it's position without stopping the measurement of it's velocity, and vice-versa...
Where as the observer effect is where that measurement characteristic will change by simply observing the measurement... meaning you change the outcome of the measurement by simply doing the measurement...
