Since the discovery of quantum mechanics, and through the Uncertainty Principle described by Heisenberg, has internalized the fact, that uncertainty is inherent in the information. It is also true that, depending on the variables to analyze, not always the levels of uncertainty, or error probability, be the same.

Physics and sociology have something in common: they study objects in motion. To Macaronis: “One of the difficulties of studying sociology is that we are studying a moving object: the company can change just as fast as the study!” [1]. the information we get today, may not be valid tomorrow.

This is because, when viewed from a sociological perspective a fact, a phenomenon is taken into account only a few, limited, the set of all variables involved in the event. By not taking into account other determinants, which in fact are doing is assumed constant, static. In this model, the object of study, therefore, does not come entirely as dynamic. That is why, information is lost!

Society changes, but its exchange rate is not constant for each time interval. By neglecting the environment variables, ie, assuming constant loss of data on the rate of change, i.e., its speed.

Furthermore, sociological research techniques are facing another problem: in addition to dealing with the uncertainty caused by its own limitations, must also confront a whole (society) where the elements that make (people) act depending on Part of the uncertainty of information being handled.
