I thought Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle was that the more you can measure the speed of something the less certain you can be about its location.

I'm not sure how weight factors in. Maybe it's just a general trend in quantum physics, like Yung's Double Slit experiment (which, maybe the title is hinting at).

I think it referred to its impulse rather than momentum, aka v*m. The cartoon might be a bit flawed though, as the car is stationary (or at least we can assume it is) relative to the spectator, so the impulse would be 0 and mass irrelevant. PS: Not a quantumphysicist, not even a normal physicist or even remotely related to the field.

It's okay, you're allowed to talk about Vim on the internet.
