Formally yes, but the meaning of the uncertainty principle is very
different according to the fact that a material substance is
vibrating, (Classical Mechanics) or an amplitude of probability
(Quantum Mechanics).

Does it have implications for MW interpretations of quantum physics?
I'd love to see comments about this.

Hi Dan,
This article is rubbish. The writer does not understand the
subtleties involved and does not understand that nothing like the
tittle
was found to be true.
I agree. I see what they were trying to get at: Measurement can
cause uncertainty but not all of the uncertainty. They leave open
the question of what does cause the uncertainty - i.e. perhaps the
very nature of quantum is uncertain or immeasurable.
The problem of course is in the assumption "we're just going to make
a *weak* measurement that won't have an effect on it". Sigh. I'll
just stand in the bathroom with you...you won't even know I'm here.
You can't fool the fabric of the universe. You can spoof it maybe,
but you can't hide from it entirely.
