Muon2 has waxed most eloquent in the above, but in the end, to me, what he said just makes common sense. It is sort of the way a lawyer thinks really. Everything is about context and ways of approaching and thinking about a problem, carefully categorizing things to create some degree or order and predictability, but often never really fully accomplishing that, and realizing that some things cannot be predicted or known, because there are random events out there.

Does quantum mechanics posit precise probabilities?

Do we know much about how these small quantum particles behave vis a vis each other, beyond empirically noticing that there are probabilities that one outcome or the other will occur? Does that question make any sense?  Smiley
