A '''Heisenburp device''' is an object which can detect the passage of a [[glider]] without affecting the glider's path or timing. The name is a reference to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, a principle in quantum physics which states that it is physically impossible to detect a particle without affecting it in some way; it was coined by [[Bill Gosper]].
