Determinism governs particles' behavior at quantum level from "summary" of The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking,Leonard Mlodinow
At the quantum level, particles do not behave like tiny billiard balls bouncing around in a predictable manner. Instead, they exhibit a strange kind of behavior that seems to be governed by probability. This behavior has led some to believe that the universe is fundamentally random and unpredictable.
However, recent advances in quantum theory have shown that there may be a deeper layer of determinism at work in the behavior of particles at the quantum level. According to this view, the behavior of particles is not truly random, but rather determined by hidden variables that we cannot observe directly.
One of the key insights that has led to this understanding is the concept of entanglement, where particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of another, no matter how far apart they are. This phenomenon suggests that th...
