The uncertainty principal proves determinism wrong.
Determinism would deny the validity or importance of categorical data, which I don’t agree with.
Discussion
abstractions are not erased by determinism, they are models not things, not subject to physical laws
Then explain chemistry
what i just wrote before about the combinatorial complexity of states, this is even more the case as we are talking about the positions of gazillions of molecules and tehir associated particles (photons, electrons, protons, etc etc)
they only become predictable given control of their mixing within specific narrow conditions of their state space
reaction equilibrium, for example, relates to the level of energy lost in the transformation, and the energy required to undo this transformation - if you put too much energy in, it can go to other states instead
again, some of it doesn't do all the same thing, this is why purification is always a key step in chemistry... even 0.1% contamination can completely stop a reaction from taking place
i'm not saying that the world is not mostly deterministic, but the uncertainty principal makes 100% determinism impossible
i think it is logically impossible for a product of a system to model the system itself with enough precision to really see ethe future beyond a certain degree of detail of the states of the system
so it's not that it isn't predictable, it can't be predicted by us
by God yes, not by us, nor anything within this universe
Potato’s make electricity. I have 10,000 in my backyard powering a s9
Science 🌈
in order to make the effort to do any science at all you have to make the assumption that the system's parameters can be contained such that you can artificially cause an effect to occur
it is illogical to assume that you can't do this and the advance of science is entirely about discovering the conditions of replication, and has not ceased to allow us to uncover new things for thousands of years at least
i work with 256 bit large integers all the time with my code and the number that they can count is more than the estimated number of atoms in the universe
almost everything in the physical universe has more state space, so, determinism in the sense of reproducability requires you to massively narrow down the possible states of a phenomena to funnel it through the one you want to recur, and it's not ever really a perfect repetition
