    Determinism is the idea that if we can figure out how the entire universe works, we’ll know enough to predict the future—and perhaps even predict the behavior of humans.
  • Catalina Morahas quoted4 years ago
    there are only two kinds of particles found in it: particles that make up matter, and particles that carry force.
  • Catalina Morahas quoted4 years ago
    wormhole”—a hypothetical passage that can act a shortcut across spacetime between two locations.

    they’re getting even faster, increasing the overall size of the universe by an estimated 5 to 10 percent every thousand million years.

  • Partha Bandyopadhyayhas quoted7 years ago
    He claimed that it would be impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time, because even the minimum amount of interaction will change its velocity. He claimed that you could know either position or velocity, but not both.
  • Partha Bandyopadhyayhas quoted7 years ago
    The branch of physics that studies things at a tiny, subatomic level is known as “quantum mechanics.” Quantum mechanics as a field of study came about in the early twentieth century, during a time when determinism was thought to be a strong possibility.

    Weak nuclear force is responsible for radioactivity, but does not act on all parti
  • Partha Bandyopadhyayhas quoted7 years ago
    Electromagnetic force is much more powerful than gravitational force–in fact, it’s one million million million million million million times stronger (that’s a 1 with 42 zeroes after it!).
