What you are suggesting isn’t possible. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle says so. The uncertainty principle actually states a fundamental property of quantum systems, and is not a statement about the observational success of current technology.

@flutherother Don’t be a party pooper as the first answer. Dream and come up with a fun answer. SCIENCE!

Oh all right then. Lets drop the electron into a black hole. You will then know exactly where it is and as it can’t move out of the black hole you will know its speed as well.
