Atoms are not the little balls we think of, they are fuzzy little areas where you know the thing is in there and you know roughly where but you can't be totally certain of exactly where. Things only seem to make sense on the larger scale because there are so many particles, we're sort of seeing the averages!KevinDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-57037997208490548802017-07-02T10:56:21.019+01:002017-07-02T10:56:21.019+01:00Really Kev, no certainty? probability determines e...Really Kev, no certainty? probability determines everything? is that the same as saying that everything is governed by chance and its pure luck that anything comes out the way it is?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237005016866918414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-11227589200300557362017-07-02T00:05:20.515+01:002017-07-02T00:05:20.515+01:00Alarmingly, Physics seems to indicate that probabi...Alarmingly, Physics seems to indicate that probability determines everything. There is no certainty. There is even an uncertainty principle (for example if you know a particle's momentum exactly, you can't know exactly where it is, only a probability of where it is most likely to be!)KevinDnoreply@blogger.com
