The study of uncertainty of the intrinsic nature of the world has become a hot topic amony many disciplines,since ancient times,human beings,especially the scientific community,have been pursuing deterministic steps.The history of science has also been a history of seeking certainty.However,with the development of modern science and exploration process,people realized that uncertainty was more basic than certainty and was also more widespread,in the natural phenomena,deterministic island was surrounded by the uncertainty of the vast ocean.This paper tries to discuss the uncertainty from two perspectives: east and west.From the perspective of western scientific uncertainty produced in quantum mechanics,the quantum theory was founded,micro object with wave-particle duality aroused the attention on the question of the uncertainty of the micro world.Cannot accurately measure the micro particle position and velocity of the experimental results,the difficulty of the statistics and interpretation of the wave function and so on,promoting Heisenberg(1901-1976)to establish the cause of the uncertainty principle.Till half of the 20 th century,complexity science(with dissipative structure theory,synergetics,chaos dynamics,etc)as its main theory become the frontier areas to explore the uncertainty problem,it reveals new and disciplinarian of the objective world complex system,and show the implied uncertainty.For uncertainty,western philosophy regards it as a "movement" by chance in the process of Chinese philosophy is called "change",as everything changing all the time.The connotation of "change" is much richer than that of "motion",because not all sports have the characteristics of displacement,such as the change of temperature?thought ? feeling...etc.Change can include movement,but movement can't contain change.So it is more accurate to use the word "change" to explain the nature of uncertainty than to use the word "movement".In ancient China,I Ching is a book of changes thought as its core idea,with the uncertainty of "variation" interpretation ofquantum mechanics,which is the ancient Oriental wisdom and western scientific uncertainty meet in coincidence,the sparks of I Ching's thought and the research of uncertainty problem in the philosophy is far-reaching significance.
