In this paper we are combining Heisenberg's uncertainty principle with Haug's suggested maximum velocity for anything with rest-mass. This leads to a suggested exact boundary condition on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The uncertainty in position at the potential maximum momentum for subatomic particles as derived from the maximum velocity is half of the Planck length.

oday the so-called Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics dominated description of the physical world still denies the possibility to assign exact simultaneous values to (all) physical quantities. A prime example is claimed to be the fundamental and universal relationship between position and momentum of a particle. According to Heisenberg's quantum mechanical uncertainty principle for position and momentum, the more precisely the momentum (position) of a particle is given, the less precisely can one say what its position (momentum) is and vice versa.\nThe purpose of this publication is to provide a mathematical proof that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle for position and momentum is refuted under any circumstances. As we shall see, accept Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as valid then you must accept too that +0 = +1, which is a logical contradiction. Thus far, it is possible to derive a logical contradiction out of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is refuted.
