It's a thought experiment. If we assume a perfect board with perfect marble with all other factors like imperfections/air currents removed and with the same initial position, and let's say the perfectly spherical marble hits the peg dead center every single time, does the marble fall to the left side of the peg or right or does it not fall to the either side?
- jayd16 7y agoAssuming it lands perfectly in the center, it rests, perfectly balanced on the peg.
- computerex 7y agoWhat if the size of the peg is really tiny, let's say a few atoms and what if the marble was also very tiny, a single atom? What would happen then?
- jayd16 7y agoI can assure you I don't know. That moves the problem from platonic shapes to real interactions of quantum particles. Atoms are not equivalent to perfect spheres.
