Quantum mechanics has wave function collapse, which is both essential in applying the theory to explain any physical situation, and at the same time not described by the theory. Other than "and then it collapses".
Classical theories don't have this problem.

- astrange 4y agoIt’s also difficult to understand how chaotic systems are explained by quantum mechanics, although they must be. And of course what gravity has to do with it.
- dools 4y agoThe whole “wave function collapse” thing as far as I understand is simply the result of any measurement involving entanglement. When you measure something by any means you create an entanglement that cancels out the term in the equation that produces “wave like” behaviour.
