No.

Work Step by Step

The uncertainty principle only applies to measurements of position and momentum along the same direction, or to energy and time. There are things that can be known for certain, for example, we know that 2 + 2 = 4. The uncertainty principle also does not prohibit us from simultaneously measuring the x and y positions of a particle to unlimited levels of accuracy.
