Summary
The complementarity principle in quantum mechanics states that in order to answer different types of questions about a system, you must analyze the system in ways that are mutually incompatible yet both valid. This principle has been highly successful in the field of physics, although it was once a subject of debate during the Bohr-Einstein discussions.
