A box contained 50 red socks and 50 green socks. You withdrew two socks;
one green and one red. What is the probability of having a matching pair on the next withdrawal? If it is a quantum box, the mear fact of reaching inside has changed the probabilities and the color of the socks. -- Frank Reid Reverse email to reply |

And sizes, you forgot sizes....... BTW, you're just guessing ;-) .........aren't you? /Roger It is not possible to derive the theory of quantum mechanics ab inito, any more than Euclid could have formulated his geometry without introducing certain basic postulates. These are unprovable in themselves, but once accepted their logical consequences lead to a theory of great predictive power. |
