>If we have an unstable atom we don't know when it will decay because we just don't ok.What causes this?
>>16996473its like the weak force interaction or something
decay is a consequence of quantum tunneling, and the chance that you measure the position of a nucleon outside its nucleus is probabilistic in natureso take your beef up with basic QM
>>16996473Quantum mechanics say that you can never know anything with complete precision, including when an unstable atom will decay
>>16996507>you can never know anything with complete precision because you just can't ok?
>>16996507You can't predict it, but you can determine when it has decayed, because it will emit radiation. Predicting the future is impossible, because it depends on unknown and unknowable factors, such as what's outside your light cone.
>>16996507that's only due to the limitation of our measuring stick
They tried to measure gravity from two small balls, but even if they had a minuscule difference in atoms, gravity is off. To make anything the same for a measurement would still make an error of space being in a different place.
>>16996473You don't know when an unstable human will have a mental breakdown. Only that they will. Same applies to an atom.
>>16996473Pi is repeating. There you go. All of nature is curves that never repeat. Meh so shit goes through time and space at curves and to figure out trajectories perfectly you’d need a perfect pi which doesn’t exist
>>16996473Nuclear physics is hard.
