The Uncertainty of Quantum Mechanics
In a recent essay I had to make the point which is very tough on people that classical mechanics is deterministic in one sector. All of the uncertainty in quantum theory of quantum measurement occurs in a second sector where classical mechanics doesn't know how to answer a problem and so it remains mute. So for example, if I asked you whether you're wearing,. are you either A, wearing a bandana or B, wearing a jacket? That's a tough question. In classical mechanics you'd say not a good question. It makes me wonder what you're setting me up for later. You'll see.
