Darn I wish I was smart enough to know what you are saying. I think I get the gist of some of it (I went back to Schrödinger's equation, but years of not doing any maths or physics got the better of me), but not all of it. I think you mean that a time-symmetric universe could be perfectly...
An interesting perspective - deterministic in its approach (i.e. from the beginning of the universe everything that happens henceforth is determined). From the people I have spoken to, many would agree with you. I would put that in the same vein as classical physics where La Grange once...
Thank you Loren - Bagatelle is similar enough to Pachinko (as far as I could tell) - it's a game played in fairs in Britain.
Your response re the wave function is intriguing and I would have to do some research before I could intelligently comment on it. One thing I believe you are saying is...
Thanks for looking commenting Malty - I did some undergraduate physics, but certainly not enough (and not enough quantum mechanics) to know the answer. I guess the thought experiment can be restated as: If we could reproduce two atoms colliding with the exact same initial conditions; would the...
Bagatelle Board
One has a square board with nails that one rolls a steel ball down from top to bottom. At the bottom there is a box as long as the board that has a number of receptacles for the ball to fall into.
The board is held upright and slanted at 45 degrees, so that it rolls down...
