if you don't know the position and momentum of something how can you tell where it's going?

[Anonymous No.9013724]

by asking nicely

Pedantry that's typical of pseudointellectuals.

Never mind QM, the "Arrow of time" makes it clear the universe is non-deterministic.
If classical mechanics were as real as the average OCD, autistic neck beard would like, then cause and effect would work equally well backwards in time as well as forwards.
The future would be able to affect the past as well as the past effects the future.
And that's clearly not how the real world works.

it sounds like you would need to first reverse time to test that

CM is time-reversible, the universe isn't.

the indeterminacy of QM has its reasonable limits otherwise that sentence just amounts to

ITT /sci/ tries to label someone a brainlet for saying a statement that is 100% absolutely true

why are you even invoking "time" into this argument

all there is is material reorientation
