Quantum Mechanics and the Rain Drop |
Hello everyone,
suppose we were trace the movement of one rain drop, in the clouds, and ask
ourselves what would happen to it, after 10 hours. Even though the rain
drop is macroscopic, wouldnt the simplicisitc equation to describe that
single rain drop be probabilistic?

No. Probabilistic description would apply to an ensemble of identically
prepared rain drops. And tracing the movement of the rain drop would change
"outcome" in any event.

Read up on quantum mechanics.

The results for a coin flip are entirely causal. Why assume
that Mother Nature is a scatter brain? Probabilistic or not,
for the rain drop, the Hamiltonian doesn't change. That's
where causality lives. Now decide: for that rain drop, is
h = 0 or not? [Old Man]
