Can Quantum Mechanics Tell Us Something About the Future?
------ For centuries, humans have been fascinated by the idea of predicting the future. Ancient civilizations turned to astrology — a system that, while not science in the modern sense, played a crucial role in advancing mathematics and astronomy. For example, ancient Indian and Babylonian scholars developed precise methods to track planetary motions, calculate eclipses, and design calendars — all under the umbrella of astrology. Even if their interpretive predictions were symbolic, their methods reflected structured, algorithm-like thinking. Modern physics takes a very different path. In quantum mechanics, the future of a particle is not determined with certainty, but with probabilities. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle tells us that we cannot know both position and momentum exactly — instead, we calculate the likelihood of finding the particle in a particular state. This parallel inspired me to reflect on three simple thoughts: 1. Probability of outcomes Quantum mechanics...
