I think the most interesting point here is to ask if the uncertainty principle describes a fundamental limit to what we can know about the universe, or a scale at which reality actually *is* random? Both would, I think, give the same uncertainty - and there would be no experimental way of proving which was correct... but its an interesting point, isn't it? Are we merely on too large a scale to understand all of reality, or is it fundamentally unintelligible?
