it's OK. electrons don't "exist" discretely, either.
At best, when you "hand me 7 electrons", you're directing me towards the fat part of 7 probability distributions, so we're back to math again...
- danparsonson 5y agoWell that's a bold assertion about a theory with whose implications we are still grappling; electrons may not be point-like entities but they are nonetheless quantifiable 'packets' of energy, are they not?
- robertlagrant 5y agoBut is that not the locations that are inexact, not the quantity of electrons?
