uncertainty is seemingly constant throughout anything...

Uncertainty would create problems determining electron orbits, due to not know the electrons position or velocity with any degree of accuracy at the direct moment of observation.. the closer you get to knowing either, the further you get from knowing the other.. to know an electrons orbit you would have to understand where the electron is and how fast it is going to calculate its orbit around the nucleus... Or at least, thats how I understand it..

You'll have to excuse my responses if they are a off, Im still learning about these things but trying hard to get my head around the idea of quantum mechanics.
