But the world isn&amp;#x27;t classical, it&amp;#x27;s quantum, and quantum systems are fundamentally indeterministic. (You can make a philosophical move where you say the wavefunction is deterministic even if the results of our measurements are indeterministic, and the wavefunction is the &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; thing, but that&amp;#x27;s orthogonal to the point I&amp;#x27;m making. All I&amp;#x27;m saying is that the meteor&amp;#x27;s path, on long enough…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/gr-qc_9402006/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
