MCQ
Because we cannot ever know the initial conditions of groups of objects with perfect precision, the later behaviour of complex systems of objects may be almost completely unpredictable, even the wonderfully successful equations derived from Newtonian mechanics.
The previous statement describes the essence of which theory?
  • A
    Newton's law of universal gravitation
  • B
    Chaos theory
  • C
    Relativity
  • D
    Quantum Theory

Answer

  1. Quantum Theory

Explanation:

The statement has the essence of quantum theory which postulates that both the position and momentum cannot be precisely measured at the same instant. This is called Uncertainty Principle. An associated error always exists in either or both. Hence behavior of complex systems becomes much more difficult to analyse and impossible to predict.
