You know, when an elementary particle decays, it can actually decay into a temporary form that has more energy than the first one. The new product then decays again into a less energetic form, stabilising the laws of physics. That is the incertainty principle. It's as if reality "turned a blind eye" to the event.

Being distance derivated from the speed of light, it is subject to that principle. A proton might be here and might be there - it's impossible to know. In fact, quantum physics defends that, in a very small scale, there are very small, new dimensions matter can have. "Distance", as a pure concept, relies of the concepts of "beginning" and "end", which are inexistant in reality. They're just a thing to make our lives easier.
