That sounds/reads somewhat defeatist to my businessman's ears/eyes...Are you suggesting that scientists have given up figuring out what those factors are or whether they exist? Is the current state of quantum physics to simply say that it's good enough that probability works well enough so who...

Is your object the balance wheel of a mechanical watch? I asked because what you described sounds quite similar to an article I read in an IEEE publication about whether a tourbillion escapement has a real impact on the accuracy and precision of a watch's movement. I believe there were some...

First, I want to thank you both for using an illustration and responding in a way that makes sense to my non-physicist's brain. I'm intrigued with physics because it describes the natural world, but unfortunately the language I speak is English not mathematics. <winks> Accordingly, I truly...

I am an accountant, not a physicist, but I find physics pretty interesting. One thing that I see reported on many a TV program about quantum physics is the idea of superposition and that it doesn't apply to the macro world in which we daily dwell. I don't see why it doesn't apply to the macro...
