The future's not ours to see
Anthony Sudbery
TL;DR
This paper explores how concepts of determinism and indeterminism in physics influence our understanding of the future and probability, especially in quantum mechanics, aimed at non-physicist readers.
Contribution
It offers a clear explanation of complex physics concepts and proposes new ways to interpret future-related statements in light of quantum mechanics.
Findings
Clarifies the distinction between determinism and indeterminism.
Proposes a novel interpretation of future statements in quantum physics.
Provides accessible explanations for non-physicists.
Abstract
An account of determinism and indeterminism in physics, addressed to non-physicist readers, leading up to proposals for how to understand statements about the future and single-event probability, motivated by quantum mechanics.
