| By quasi-deterministic theory, I mean conventional probabilistic sciences which, although incapable of giving deterministic description as does Newtonian mechanics, give nevertheless a complete description based on a perfect knowledge of all possible states of the system of interest. You are not sure of the state of the system at any given moment, but you know that the system must be at one of the states in our register given by the equation of motion With Newtonian deterministic physics, God is sure of everything at any moment. Then with probabilistic physics, God has less power but is still happy in playing at dice. He says to himself : I know that my dice has 6 sides. Then Henri Poincar� arrived ... ... |
