This is a common misconception. Einstein proved that you
can measure a quantum particle's position without disturbing its momentum by measuring it through one of its entangled particles. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle just means that everything (quantum and all else) can no longer be described accurately as a
classic particle or wave, but rather, something with wave-particle duality, much like we've discovered light can be found in wave and particle form.
Plus, it's not as if scientists didn't know where the particles were going to end up. The discrepency was calculated based on a probability distribution from which Heisenberg calculated the standard deviation.
However! I'm not trying to argue for or against intention/manifestation. I just wanted to compare philosophical theories of mind to Steve's system, and see what happened. Always searchin' for the truth.
