I think this is the first time we've seen an innocent bystander get hurt because of Walt's actions... poor Hugo. Okay so I'll take a crack at explaining my layperson's understanding of the whole uncertainty principle thing! Basically, when things are extremely small (we're talking the size of an atom or smaller), the normal laws of motion that we see in action every day no longer apply. At that small a scale, things start to behave very strangely. Electrons will appear to "teleport" from one place to another without passing through the space in between. Particles will seem like they're doing multiple contradictory things (like passing through both of two tiny slits in a piece of paper) at once, only settling into one of those contradictory possibilities when someone observes them in some way. And the more we know about where something is at the moment, the less we know about where it's going (and how quickly). That last bit is what Heisenberg called the "uncertainty principle". If we take some artistic liberties and apply this principle of physics to Walt as a person, it might mean (for example) that the more sure he is of what he's doing in the present moment, the less sure he is of what his future will bring.
