[coining phrase "null hypothesis"] in relation to any experiment we may speak of this hypothesis as the "null hypothesis," and it should be noted that the null hypothesis is never proved or established, but is possibly disproved, in the course of experimentation. every experiment may be said to exist only in order to give the facts a chance of disproving the null hypothesis.
Order Giving Null
The incomplete knowledge of a system must be an essential part of every formulation in quantum theory. quantum theoretical laws must be of a statistical kind. to give an example: we know that the radium atom emits alpha-radiation. quantum theory can give us an indication of the probability that the alpha-particle will leave the nucleus in unit time, but it cannot predict at what precise point in time the emission will occur, for this is uncertain in principle.
Science Incomplete Knowledge Law
In quantum mechanics there is a causing b. the equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. the real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity. quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. that's the new idea.
Real Ideas Issues
If time is treated in modern physics as a dimension on a par with the dimensions of space, why should we a priori exclude the possibility that we are pulled as well as pushed along its axis? the future has, after all, as much or as little reality as the past, and there is nothing logically inconceivable in introducing, as a working hypothesis, an element of finality, supplementary to the element of causality, into our equations. it betrays a great lack of imagination to believe that the concept of "purpose" must necessarily be associated with some anthropomorphic deity.
Believe Reality Past
Even the absolute universality of the law of causality does not necessarily limit a person's freedom, because the law of causality not only enables him to explain the past and predict the future, but also encourages him to use his intelligence to create new causes and attain new results.

Like music or art, mathematical equations can have a natural progression and logic that can evoke rare passions in a scientist. although the lay public considers mathematical equations to be rather opaque, to a scientist an equation is very much like a movement in a larger symphony. simplicity. elegance. these are the qualities that have inspired some of the greatest artists to create their masterpieces, and they are precisely the same qualities that motivate scientists to search for the laws of nature. like a work of art or a haunting poem, equations have a beauty and rhythm all their own.
