this is also my understanding, that at least one of the problems is that we will never have a direct way to measure an electron (or other fundamental particle) without directly affecting it.

the only way to measure a "photon" is by transforming it to an electron. (this is just a way of saying it, I know that the "reality" is that the photon dislodge an electron and only then we can detect the current generated by that photon)

for example the double slit experiment WITH detectors on each slit is impossible to do because of this problem, if you send one photon or one electron it will have to interact with the detector for it to be detected and this unwanted interaction will make the whole experiment of no-use.

how to even be sure that we are avoiding the interaction with the surfaces of the slit itselt is also another thing. by this I mean that every surface has an "electron field" even if minute how can we be sure if not interacting with the particles passing by it?.
