Easy there killer. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle just states that at the quantum level, specific pairs of physical properties cannot both be known w/ arbitrary precision. Measuring position with greater precision will reduce the precision of a measurement of the particle's momentum, and vice versa. It doesn't mean that everything is uncertain to some extent, that's a given w/o complete a priori info AFAIK, but that there are trade-offs in measuring stuff that's linked.
Maybe GW is just raptorjesus hugging the planet extra hard. It's possible because we don't know everything about the universe, but it's not probable given what we do know about the universe.
