Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Heisenberg principle :- Heisenberg proved existence  of pair of properties say x and p(x) s.t 
                                     σ(x)σ(p(x))  ≥ h/4π  always.
This take us to a fact that such pair of properties both cannot be determined with absolute certainty.
For example :- 
Let, x is the position of a point particle and p(x) is its momentum at point x. 
The Heisenberg told that both x and p(x) can't be determine with absolute certainty (as standard deviation σ represents the amount of error / shift from certainty / uncertainty ).

What is the main cause behind this kind of behavior. The proof could be gained from the Heisenberg Microscope experiment .

For the detail prove see http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys314/lectures/heis/heis.html and

The Heisenberg Principal paved the base of the Wave Mechanics .
