- tsimionescu 3y agoNote that this is not an actual physical experiment - it only works with an infinitely accurate and smooth shape of the dome, which contradicts all of the models of how matter exists at least since the ancient greeks. Any dome made up of atoms, even if arranged perfectly accurately up to the position of each individual atom, does not exhibit any kind of non-deterministic behavior in classical mechanics.
