He was simply trying to explain how electrons behave "randomly" thus being uncertain...
The quantum uncertainty principle has been used as grounds in a lot of philosophical debates...
If electrons move "randomly," then there is not way of defining when and where our particles will be...
If you believe this theory, then the notion of predestination from a scientific standpoint is pretty near impossible for you..
I hope this helps

[quote]If electrons move "randomly," then there is not way of defining when and where our particles will be...[/quote] What? Yes there is, it's called a probability distribution.
-
Well probability distribution is a mathematical method sometimes used in physics It is more applicable to statistics and since it deals with probability it is not 100% sure of the outcome Plus there are some arguments against the quantum uncertainty principle

[quote]It is more applicable to statistics and since it deals with probability it is not 100% sure of the outcome[/quote]Your point being what, exactly? [quote]Plus there are some arguments against the quantum uncertainty principle[/quote] Ooh, like what?
-
The fact that there may be a pattern to the way electrons behave it is just so complex that we can't find it I know it is like trying to find a pattern to pi It isn't plausible but it is a theory you need to take into consideration
-
Actually, if it's not plausible you usually don't need to take it into consideration.
-
Well you are right I contradicted myself... Now I look like an idiot I will just.... Go....
-
Not at all - you'd be right if this were pure maths, it's just that in science it's usually the case that a few concessions have to be made when it comes to deductive reasoning.
-
Yes well you know very well that pure mathematics isn't usually used in physics except in theories Applied mathematics is much nicer to the brain anyway Haha
-
[quote]Applied mathematics is much nicer to the brain anyway[/quote]As a pure maths major, you make me sad.
-
Haha Well I am not even in college yet so for what I go through applied mathematics takes less abstract thinking Props to you though for majoring in math
-
Much appreciated.
-
No problem... Did my comments help at all
-
Of course, every reply here has increased my knowledge on the topic slightly.

Glad to help other curious people
