quantum mechanics and determinism
Quantum mechanics is a scientific theory that describes the behavior of very small particles such as atoms and subatomic particles. It is based on the principles of wave-particle duality and probabilistic nature of the quantum world. Determinism, on the other hand, is the philosophical concept that suggests that all events are governed by cause and effect relationships, implying a predictable and deterministic universe. Combining these two concepts, quantum mechanics challenges traditional determinism by introducing random and unpredictable outcomes at the quantum level.
