A summary of facts from David Shiang’s famous book
GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE
A) History of Modern Physics
1. CLASSICAL PHYSICS
After the renaissance scientists like Galileo & Copernicus, the next giant to come in the scientific arena was Isaac Newton. Newton discovered the laws of motion and science related to gross objects. He claimed that the world is inherently deterministic & predictable & if we apply certain parameters to physical laws, that which is to come can be determined too. He didn’t believe in the possibility of chance, randomness or unpredictability in events.
