random babbling

This is a blog that many people may consider to be random babbling, as this is a blog talking about stuff in science, such as chemisty, physics, biology, geology, etc. and many people think science is just random nonsense. This used to be a blog solely about physics, but I decided it should include other sciences as well.

"God does not play dice"

The quote "God does not play dice" was from Albert Einstein. This was his reply to the unveiling of the uncertainty principle, which at the time, he firmly disagreed with. The uncertainty principle is a principle from quantum mechanics which states that the more you know about the momentum of a particle, the less you can know about its position. This changed the world of physics a lot, because this was saying that it is impossible predict the future with physics, even with all the measurements and calculations in the universe.

Well I guess it is reasonable for Einstein to think that way. Something that is cool with the uncertainty principle and quantum mechanics is if you go fast enough, and try countless times [way more than a trillion], then you can actually go through a solid metal block. Weird eh?
