Hi
I was interested in Quantum Mechanics so I started reading some books about it.
When I was reading about Uncertainty principle I found out we have uncertainty about the particle because of photons.
was my conclusion right or the uncertainty arises from somewhere else?
and If we make a mechanism that observe the particle without photon,will uncertainty principle knock down?

The principle holds without photons. There are tens of threads about it here on PF.
 
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...
