While what you say is obviously not wrong, it's not the uncertainty principle as used in QM as far as I am aware. This is a common misconception about the the uncertainty principle. Look around you, everything you see you can't tell exactly where it is. If we move it every time we try to observe, we'll never know where it was to begin with! That means that when it comes down to the tiniest things in the universe, we can never tell where they are because even if we discover smaller and smaller particles we'll still never be able to observe them without moving them in the process. Well if we hit the small particle we'll move it. So in order to observe a small particle we throw another small particle at it and see if it bounces. What happens when you bounce two things that are the same size together (soccer balls, cars etc?) They move. Now these particles are both the smallest thing out there, so they're the same size. We should choose the smallest thing we can, so we choose another small particle. Now if we want to see that small particle we need to bounce something off of it. That tiniest thing that all other matter is built from (you don't really have to know if it's a proton, electron, quark or whatever just that it's the smallest). Lets want to observe the smallest particle out there. So, generally, in order to observe something you need to 'bounce' something else off of it. An electron microscope works by bouncing electrons off tiny things and measure how they bounce. If I was in a dark room and wanted to see if there was a person there I could throw a dodgeball if it goes straight then there is no one there, if it bounces off them then I know there is a person there. When you see something, what you're 'seeing' is light bouncing off an object right? You can see where it is.
