I believe GPS works because of extremely small time differences between the satellites. Because of how small the time differences are, it needs to take into account gravity's effect on time. Although gravity warping time seems very far fetched in normal life, there are practical applications that we use every day that would not work if we did not know about it.
I was curious if the same applies to the uncertainty principle. Is there something that I use everyday that wouldn't work if we didn't know about the uncertainty principle? Or is it just crazy quantum mechanics?
