The Bohr–Einstein debate over the ‘‘weighing of energy’’ and the validity of the time–energy uncertainty relation is reexamined in the context of gravitation theories that do not respect the equivalence principle. Bohr’s use of the equivalence principle is shown to be sufficient, but not necessary, to establish the validity of this uncertainty relation in Einstein’s ‘‘weighing-of-energy’’ gedanken experiment. The uncertainty relation is shown to hold in any energy-conserving theory of gravity, and so a failure of the equivalence principle does not engender a failure of quantum mechanics. The relationship between the gravitational redshift and the equivalence principle is reviewed.

In this paper we have tried to perform a comprehensive summery of Energy-Time uncertainty principle. At first we review the history of uncertainty principle then the most well-known arguments between Einstein and Bohr. Our main aim is to provide an acceptable relationship for Energy-Time uncertainty principle and proof to it. I.
