- HPsquared 6y agoIf you try looking at finer and finer details, you'll quickly run into quantum effects and the uncertainty principle. If even the smallest parts of a system aren't deterministic, how can the outcome be predicted?
- uryga 6y ago> poor resolution afaik the point with chaotic systems is that even if the system is deterministic and your measurement of the initial conditions is near-perfect, your predictions will diverge from the real thing pretty quickly, because any errors get magnified a lot
