All the atoms making it up would have changed in various ways, which is to say that even if it’s been moved and moved back, one could tell that time has passed with an appropriate observation.
For a single electron, this would not be the case.
- throwawaymath 8y agoYeah the analogy isn't perfect, but despite that I think it basically works as a macro representation. Obviously the ball isn't a fundamental particle and we wouldn't have all information about how it ages. But tracking just the ball's position is meant to analogize the fact that we have all information about e.g. a fundamental particle's position.
