The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - the mere act of making an observation (taking a measurement) influences the state of the environment being observed, therefore establishing a domain of unpredictability.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle isn't restricted to particle physics, either, because it applies equally well to the social sciences - though it is usually only referred to as the Uncertainty Principle.

In psychology, when subjects are aware that they are being observed they probably act differently than if they didn't know. This is known as the Hawthorne effect. This is one confounding aspect of psychological research. I am sure other branches of science have their own nuances for similar phenomenon.
I hope this helps. gl

It is actually all unpinned by the theory of quantum physics....its a very cool and fascinating subject and is explained brilliantly using the idea of schrodingers cat....bang it into a search engine and have a look......very interesting

It may be the uncertainty principle.
Interfering changes the outcome and you don't know what it is.
