General relativity is in the old Newtonian framework where you predict what will happen, not the probability of what will happen. And… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
