How to Make Predictions About Complex Molecular Systems Without Knowing the Law of Motion
The principle of inter operability also has an intriguing twist, which allows one to make predictions about physical systems without knowing exactly what their laws of motion are. This is the case for complex molecules that have so many sub particles that it is impossible to use the laws of motion to predict their behaviour. In such cases, counterfactules come in very handy, because they allow us to still make predictions. You can read more by looking up kiara's gravity experiments how a cubit behaves in a gravitational field.
