The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.
--Heisenberg, uncertainty paper, 1927
The above quote is taken from the following source:

That there is a search for the forces defining the shape of the electron, in the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle", will not alter the concept and the reality of the uncertainty principle first described by Werner Heisenberg as a generality in Foundation Theory.
Foundation Theory must ever relate to the sensibility of living matter. Just a Kurt Godel distinguished Intuitive Truth from Formal verification, and even as for example, the fluidity of water is an emergent quality of water, not found in a single molecule of water, There can be no such intelligible thing as a "God particle".
There is no end to formal discovery. Ultimate congruency is no more meaningful than a new borne baby's first cry, which means the whole totality, if we had but ears to hear it's message entirely.
