    It cannot be overcome. Most people do not realise that the HUP is derived from pure mathematics, it is then applied to real systems.

    The HUP gives the minimum uncertainty in measuring two variables. In practice it is not always possible to reach this level in experiments. With improved technique we may be able to reach the minimum uncertainty predicted by the principle, but the HUP itself can never be overcome.

    See my other answer: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/97062

    EDIT: As pointed out in the comments my answer is not quite clear (bit of a rush job!). I'm not saying that we cannot record experiments with uncertainty less than that predicted. What I'm trying to say is that even if we do then this does not show the HUP is wrong, rather that it should not have been applied to real systems, but as an equation derived from pure maths it would still be correct.

    You can not over come the uncertainty principle until we can define the nature of the atom enough to complete the grand unification theory and fully explain quantum mechanics in mathematical terms.

    The problem is not with the Uncertainty principle but with Quantum Mechanics itself. The very definition of the Quantum world; probability, produces the uncertainty principle as one is not certain of the the position of the electron. Personally i believe and have worked on electron properties showing a predictable electron orbital, not an electron cloud, however this is not documented. The current view is that the uncertainty principle cannot be overcome because Quantum Mechanics is the study of electron probable locations. Quantum Mechanics has to be re-worked from the ground up to get rid of the uncertainty principle.

    We probably can't; but this is really not such a bad thing.
    Heisenberg of course knew how to use his principle to advantage.
    e.g.
    One day Heisenberg's BMW is pulled over by a police cruiser.
    The officer walks up to the BMW, and motions for the driver's window to be wound down.
    Heisenberg: "Anything wrong Officer?"
    Policeman: "Do you know what speed you were doing, Sir?"
    Heisenberg: "No, but I know exactly where I was."
