The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is concept in quantum physics which states that sets a limit on degree of accuracy which you can measure certain pairs of properties of a particle. Most young physicists will first come across this concept in regards to position and momentum. The product of uncertainties in a particle's position and momentum most be greater or equal to the reduced Planck's constant divided by two. Therefore the more accurately you can measure momentum of a particle, the less accurately is possible to measure the position. This isn't due to limitations in measuring equipment. It's a fundamental law of the universe!
These two concepts are linked in the field of optical physics. A pulse of light can be represented as a function of time, f(t). A Fourier transform can be performed on this to express it as a function of frequency, f(ω). The interesting result is that the shorter and sharper the expression in t is, the longer and duller the expression in ω is, and vice versa. Since the width of a pulse is equivalent to the uncertainty in that value, this shows that as the uncertainty in in t decreases, the uncertainty in ω increases. It just so happens that t and ω are two values that are linked by the Uncertainty Principle! A simple mathematical operation performed on a function corresponds to a physical law in the universe!
I was revising Fourier optics while listening to this yesterday (for an exam I sat this morning, which went ok, thanks for asking, although I opted out of the question about this topic and instead answered one about Fabry-Perot interferometers) and the point is that The Complete On the Corner Sessions is like a Fourier transform has been applied to On the Corner. The latter is the short sharp function. Over the course of a single LP Miles lays down a short intense blast of his new style of post-modern funky sound-collage jazz. He reaches incredible heights in a small space of time, and it's wonderful. The former album (this one) is the long, dull function. I don't mean dull in the sense of boring though. This is anything but. What I mean is that this is a sprawled out version of On the Corner, and even though it contains a lot of the same material it is prevented from reaching the same giddy heights purely because of how much the material is spread over a such a wide span. Its just as good as On the Corner (the two functions express the same thing after all), just in a different terms. Mathematical mumbo jumbo aside some of the funky jams presented here without all the crazy editing sound really good.
