the need for probability
... Physicists have come, in this century, to the belief that determinism is also not possible in this most deterministic of all sciences. Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman emphasizes this realization in his Lectures on Physics [1965]: ...

... The probability of the my going to party is 0.7 (i.e., I go to 70 out of 100 parties on average). If I tend to go to whichever party my girlfriend (Venus) goes, my party behavior depends on Venus’s. That is, my probability of going to a party conditional on Venus’s presence is larger than 0.7 (e ...
