- TriviaThe explanation of the uncertainty principle in this episode has been confused with the so-called observer effect. Both are aspects of quantum mechanics, but the uncertainty principle states the impossibility to measure the value of some pairs of variables (so-called conjugate quantities) like location and speed of a particle at the same time with absolute certainty, while the observer effect states that observing an object always has an effect on the object.
- GoofsCharlie talks about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, from which the episode title is derived, but confuses it with the Observer Effect, which the episode really is about and should have been titled after. The uncertainty principle deals with measurement, and not observation.
- Quotes
[Don is trying to talk to a distracted Charlie about the case in the back garden]
Don Eppes: We think they have specialized military training and now they have struck again and killed another innocent person, Charlie.
[Charlie continues poking around the garden, looking for who-knows-what]
Don Eppes: Charlie, please don't do this. Do you understand the stakes we're dealing with here? More bloodshed, people's lives. I mean, if I have to do this on my own it's going to put me and all of my people at greater risk, is that what you want?
Charlie Eppes: Their old pattern's gone, I told you...
[Don grabs Charlie by the front of his shirt and swings him around, shaking him in frustration]
Don Eppes: Well then there's gotta be a new pattern! Doesn't there? Isn't that the way it works? You incorporate whatever's going on?
Charlie Eppes: Ow.
Don Eppes: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I need your help, do you understand?
Charlie Eppes: I don't think I can, that I can...
Don Eppes: Charlie, I know it's hard for you, I understand that, but it's hard for everybody.
[Charlie goes back to poking around the garden]
Don Eppes: You know, I don't know how I got in a situation where I need your help to do my job, but I sure as hell have.
[Don storms back towards the house, then turns back around]
Don Eppes: And I wish you would just snap out of your precious bubble, for once!
[Charlie stays in the garden, looking dejected]
