There are many corollaries to the uncertainty principle. Another is that
it is impossible to measure a system without disturbing it. Many
examples. You place a voltmeter across a circuit, it draws some current,
which changes the voltage. You want to know the temperature in a closed
space, you open the door to measure it and the temperature changes. Or
the presence of the thermometer changes the thermal mass slightly. And
so on.
