By essentially the same reasoning we used in its application to particles, the uncertainty principle implies that the more precisely the value of a field is determined at one location in space, the less precisely its rate of change at that location can be determined. (The position of a particle and the rate of change of its position—its velocity—play analogous roles in quantum mechanics to the value of a field and the rate of change of the field value, at a given location in space.)
