Science is about creating explanations. The laws of nature is not probabilistic. Probabilities are used when we have a limited set like a deck of cards. But it's not used to create scientific explanations.

> The laws of nature is not probabilistic Today's your lucky day, you're one of the 10,000 who learn about quantum mechanics (fundamentally random) and chaos theory (sensitivity to initial conditions such that even classical mechanics might as well be fundamentally random) for the first time today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ Edit: Also, p-values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value

  I understand quantum mechanics very well which is why I understand that the Everett interpretation is how we move forward.

    Why do you then assert "The laws of nature is" [sic] "not probabilistic"?
    - ThomPete 4y ago
      Because that's what the Everett interpretation deals with.
