Does Probability Come from Quantum Physics?

"But a new paper by physics professor Andreas Albrecht and graduate
student Dan Phillips at the University of California, Davis, makes the
case that these quantum fluctuations actually are responsible for the
probability of all actions, with far-reaching implications for
theories of the universe.'

Yes, and human perception of probability does tend to mess things up a
bit, i.e. What Is Our Perception of Probability?

AA Probability deals in odds. Chanches can be very high but nature
deals in such big numbers that all is possible. Yes trillions of
monkeys typing could have one that has typed my 20 years of posts. Bad
grammar and spelling included. Get the picture TreBert

Bert, as you know, Murphy's law states that if anything can go wrong,
it will. So the probability would be in how likely it is that
anything can go wrong.

As with all human endeavor, that probability is pretty much about as
high as it can possibly be. And that explains why no matter what we
do, something almost always goes wrong.

So while Murphy's law *is* based on probability, it turns out to be a
statement of fact - plain and simple fact.

Painius Since gravity evolves all that is,I feel safe in saying
gravity controls all probable actions,but with the uncertainty of
knowing "when". TreBert

There is a theory that fundamental particles contantlly take quantum
leaps in random directions. In the warped space on a gravitational
field, the prbability the particle will leap in one direction becomes
slightly more probable that that it will leap in the opposite
direction. That is why the object they comprise starts moving in that
direction!

I feel that the responsibility for the probability that I will never
understand the effect quantum fluctuations may have on whether or not
I will stop soon to eat lunch is mine all mine.
