Oh. Advice from someone who confuses "principle" with "principal".

You could do a lot worse than to consult the Wikipedia, demarat. It won't be beaten by any other encyclopaedia. Not only does it provide easily understood basic knowledge on many topics, but also a fuckton of links for further reading, should you be inclined to learn about them in depth.

I suggest you start with really, really basic stuff, like the meaning of "principle". I guarantee you'll learn something even if you just read the first short and easy to understand sentence. It goes like this: "Not to be confused with Principal."

If you feel ambitious, you could move on to looking up the Wikipedia's entry regarding Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, of which there's only one, by the way. If you feel the article lacks explanatory power, you can always click on any of the 91 links for further reading, at least one of which will get you to Werner Heisenberg's original publication on his uncertainty principle in 1927. But I don't think you'll get much past the first three introductory paragraphs. Unless you can actually follow the mathematics involved, you'll be lost by the time you get to Image
