It seems to me that Heisenberg is assuming that we will always use
invasive technology to measure particle movement and velocity, but if
we develop a passive way of measuring the momentum and positions, then
wouldnt we be able to know both at the same time?

Describe how you measure *both* passively.  For that matter, describe how
you measure either one passively - having done that, you can then use an
active means to measure the other.

(Of course, by the time you reach a Zen-enough mindset that you can measure
either one without measuring it, you won't care what value either measurement
was, and the fact that you get answers without asking the question won't bother
you in the slightest.. ;)
