Following that line of thought, should we then not accept that, in this case, observing something over time causes a growing uncertainty about not only the location of the observed object, but also the validity/calibration (any attribute inherent to location) of the observer's measurement device/eyes/experimental setup/question? How can we be sure that, in retrospect, we created the right conditions to commence our observations to begin with?
Maybe I'm dribbling here, but it's mind blowing stuff regardless!

Hi Ivo;
Hmm .. there is one invariant though … 8d phase space.
If your observation is made in consideration of, and optmised in consideration of all 8 dimensions, then are we not back to the old invariant space-time perspective ?
Perhaps I'm dribbling more than yourself .. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the concept … let alone the ramifications.
Cheers
