Probability

“God does not play dice with the universe.” So said Einstein in his disparagement of quantum mechanics. However, despite his opposition, quantum theory has proven to be quite successful. It turns out that all the happenings in the subatomic world can be accurately expressed in terms of probabilities. A particle can be described by a mathematical equation, which is essentially a waveform. Where the wave peaks, that’s where the particle has the greatest chance of being. It seems that our reality at its smallest levels is indeed built on nothing more elaborate than the rolling of dice.
