The Best of Car Talk

#2618: Who, What or How but Never All Three


Listen Later

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that position and momentum cannot simultaneously be known. Click and Clack’s uncertainty principle is that they may be able to figure out ‘Why’ or ‘What’ and sometimes ‘How’ your car has broken down, but never all three at once(because that’s too much work).  Lots of uncertainty on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.
