The Uncertainty

Hye guys. I feel like commenting on Dr.Heisenberg's famous principle (Sorry Doc!! This is my space!!). Let's recall the famous Uncertainty Principle (I know all geeks here, but still).
The position and momentum of any electron cannot be simultaneously known to arbitrarily high precision.
"Whoa!!" was my reaction when I first read it. It was like an open challenge to all the scientists, all the techies in the world that "Dude, do whateva!! But you can not find the position and velocity both precise at the same time".

While an electron is uncertain, so, how can the world be certain when its building block is not?

Isnt this amazing!! An uncertain unit providing :-

a table that stands, 
the water that flows down instead of up,
a lemon that always tastes sour and not sweet, 
a roof that doesn't fall, 
a road that doesn't change by itself,
a land that doesn't flow, 
a world that rotates between days and nights and revolves around the sun in fixed 365 days( and 6 hours to be more precise). 

Where the hell is uncertainity??
The roof never speaks up like "Hey buddy!! Today is Sunday, so why don't you hold on while I chill out" , or the lemon wanting to taste sweet (I am not taking about Sweet Lime!!). Everything in nature is certain, every part of it is predictable. H and O atoms will give only H2O at N.T.P.. That's a rule. Nobody can change it. Its like a property of nature, to be certain (no more uncertainty principle!). 

We feel uncertain when we don't know about things. Like in the dark, when we cant see what is where. This is where we are uncertain. Your books are still there when you switch on the light. Nature isn't uncertain, we are! Even in my behavior, I am not sure what to speak when, what to do next to make things right,  because I don't know. Just Hit-N-Try & life goes on-n-on-n-oooon!!
