[Corpora-List] QM analogy and grammatical incompleteness

[John F. Sowa]

Rob,

The uncertainty principle is a quantum mechanical
result.  It has nothing to do with relativity.
It holds equally well for Schrödinger's equation
(which is nonrelativistic) and for Dirac's later
relativistic version.

Yes.

In any case, I believe that the analogy with QM is
about as useful as most analogies:  it might suggest
some new ideas, but if you push it too hard, it tends
to break down in the details.
