I was just wondering that thought we ( I mean scientists :-p ) are working to try to find a way out of uncertainty, is there any field, or say any particular case where uncertainty is useful. I have heard about ZPE and Domain walls and true & false vacuum ( though I don't have and detailed idea about any of them ) and they all require fluctuations, also quantum tunneling. So if we find certainty the ZPE won't be there or and may be some other things ( I don't know exactly what though ) And it will conflict with some physical laws.
So, is uncertainty a certain necessity or just unnecessary uncertainty.

Uncertainty is a certainty. As in, it's what fits experimental observation - and quantum theory which is built around it, has had a spectacular success at predicting new phenomena as well.

It's a necessity to explain quantum behavior. All of it. While quantum theory is probably not the final theory of everything, it will continue to be an observed phenomena.

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
