Is there a way to describe the connection between 'The Uncertainty Principle" and the "Observer Effect" in layman's terms without notation?

But wasn't Heisenberg behind both concepts at about the same time? ( I might have made an assumption because of that which would have been an error on my part.) Maybe that's why I couldn't explain the connection! THERE ISN'T ONE! 😆

@puck61: Nah, Observer Principle has been formulated slowly over time, wasn't from Heisenberg.

For what it's worth, Heisenberg himself confused the two once or twice. Which is why the two get intermingled as often as they do.

@Sicarium: I'm glad you mentioned that Heisenberg confused the two. That makes me feel better! Thanks for the help.
