Ok, I was wondering what that "e" icon on my desktop was...many thanks". Laplace's vision, of scientific determinism, involved knowing the positions and speeds of the particles in the universe, at one instant of time. So it was seriously undermined by Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle. How could one predict the future, when one could not measure accurately both the positions, and the speeds, of particles at the present time? No matter how powerful a computer you have, if you put lousy data in, you will get lousy predictions out. Einstein was very unhappy about this apparent randomness in nature. His views were summed up in his famous phrase, 'God does not play dice'. He seemed to have felt that the uncertainty was only provisional: but that there was an underlying reality, in which particles would have well defined positions and speeds, and would evolve according to deterministic laws, in the spirit of Laplace. This reality might be known to God, but the quantum nature of light would prevent us seeing it, except through a glass darkly. Einstein's view was what would now be called, a hidden variable theory. Hidden variable theories might seem to be the most obvious way to incorporate the Uncertainty Principle into physics. They form the basis of the mental picture of the universe, held by many scientists, and almost all philosophers of science. But these hidden variable theories are wrong. The British physicist, John Bell, who died recently, devised an experimental test that would distinguish hidden variable theories. When the experiment was carried out carefully, the results were inconsistent with hidden variables. Thus it seems that even God is bound by the Uncertainty Principle, and can not know both the position, and the speed, of a particle. So God does play dice with the universe. All the evidence points to him being an inveterate gambler, who throws the dice on every possible occasion. | |||

"Feynmans brilliant defiantly my favourite scientist you can download his lectures and you can understand them with not a huge amount of knowledge on the subject same I'm no expert but its propbably my favourite genre of physics anybody got a favourite part and quantum or something they find about wow" Best explanation of the double slit experiment I ever heard. I quite like his diagrams as well | |||

"The origin of matter… how can something appear from nothing? If nothing is actually not nothing, it is something. Will humanity ever be able to discover the actual origin of matter? If matter came from energy, where did energy come from initially?" one of the questions which exercise theoretical ohysicists. They javeent resolved the known universe yet, perhaps when that has been done the question of what came before this and the the big bang will be next. | |||
