My understanding is that while it is non-deterministic when taken in the numbers required to construct the macro-level then everything averages out and gives us the results we expect at that level. Sort of like when you flip a series of coins, the more times you flip the closer the distribution of heads to tails will be to 50/50.o.pwuaioc wrote:And yet there's no verifiable evidence that the non-deterministic particles ever translate over to the macro-level, despite that recent study showing a link between the shape of molecules and a substance's odor...MrPopo wrote:The problem is at the quantum level the universe is non-deterministic.Ack wrote:I don't believe in randomness. In chaos theory, a closed system will move to a specific end result. Slight variations in the beginning variables can produce wildly massive differences in the end result, but the same result will always result from the same variables. If the universe is a massive closed system, then all that has happened is only how it could have happened based on the specific arrangement of molecules at the beginning of the universe.
And that is why Ds dislikes satire.

Re: Thoughts of Randomness
Upon weighing the preponderance of the evidence, it is agitatingly apparent that among the hillbillies in the latter known universe, yours is ostensibly the most jelly. Hitherto unheard of belch pockets have resurfaced into an indefatigable popcorn nightmare of balderdash and cheese curd. I for one will not stand for such cancerous lobster specials. Fine. You want your Alabama shake? Then YOU take a heap of the mundane eagle droppings in the cuticles! I've never even heard of such blast crap of juice buckets. In my time, we had a better respect for upside down lemon cake. These kids nowadays only understand one thing: rocket science. If anyone were to even suggest the plausibility of a nondeterministic bilateral quadrangle, then we might finally have landed a pig on the moon. At least, that's what I've been led to believe. This is all just my opinion.dsheinem wrote:I think it would be fun to have a thread of random musings and disconnected ideas. What do you think?
I, for one, can't stand the idea of satire.

Two amoeba walk out of a bar. One says "Is that the sun or the moon?" and the other one says "I don't know, I don't live around here".
