Read the interest box in this chapter entitled “What if . . . Philosophy, Determinism, and Quantum Mechanics.” Explain the concept of determinism. Do you think the universe is deterministic? Can you think of other arguments, besides quantum mechanics, against determinism?

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concept of determinism is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

 The deterministic theory states that future events are predetermined by past events.

 The probabilistic theory states that future events are not dependent on past events.

Explanation of Solution

The concept of determinism states that everything is predestined. The events that occurred in the past govern the future. It is like a chain reaction which keeps on occurring after a certain interval of time...
