She does not want the website to calculate her mass and therefore her weight. It has nothing to do with the uncertainty principle

It's a reference to the Uncertainty Principle, a property of quantum mechanics that states that position and momentum cannot be known at the same time. 199.27.133.98 05:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


I may be thinking too much into this, but couldn't she also not want the website to know her mass? Momentum is Mass*Velocity, and Velocity can be derived from change in position
