Can you "see" uncertainty?

[Random Variable]

If the uncertainity in the position of a particle is very large, will the uncertainty be visible to the human eye? Someone told me that the it would be like looking at something through a camera that is out of focus. Is that true?

If you can't see the particle, then how can you see the uncertainty?

If particle uncertainty (like you're talking about in Q-Phys) was that obvious you'd think it'd be discovered a lot earlier than it was no?

However, if you're talking hypotheticals, like if a person had that kind of uncertainty, yea, it'd probably be blurry or something like that. Or they'd probably look really fat because they're in a lot of different places displacing light at once. Who knows, I got a C in quantum phys.
