Jason Palmer should be sacked for this level of misrepresentation.
The experiment being reported on dealt only with photons. Heisenberg's notion dealt with the fact that photons were at the time necessary for our 'observation' of interaction with quantum particles, meaning that the reflected photon that gave rise to our observation would also have moved the interfered with particle giving no certainty to the exact position of the interfered with particle since it had since been moved by the photon that we were observing....whew. Our detection means are much more sophisticated; however, a two-part study of light does not violate or have anything to do with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Palmer should be embarrassed. The fact that most of the populus that reads this article won't challenge it is disheartening.
