when we study waves we actually study the composition that a disturbance gives to the medium,the snapshot of the composition is what we call wave structure...does that snapshot ,the localisation of particles, includes Heisenberg uncertainity principle?

if you are referring to macro-scale waves/disturbances then the answer is that the effect of HUP is so minuscule and "averaged out" that it can be neglected and perhaps immeasurable.
 
and in microscopic scale?
 
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...
