Chance in the universe
Chance in the universe. Computer illustration representing the chance, randomness and probability inherent in the universe according to the theory of quantum mechanics. Dice are seen spiralling towards a black hole, their numbers producing a random sequence. This randomness and probability in quantum physics (subatomic physics) was described by Werner Heisenberg in his Uncertainty Principle, and by Erwin Schrodinger. Einstein did not believe in a random universe and consequently said " God does not play dice with the universe"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chance in the Universe" beautifully captures the essence of randomness and probability as described by quantum mechanics. In this computer illustration, dice are depicted spiraling towards a mysterious black hole, creating a mesmerizing visual representation of chance. The concept of randomness and probability in subatomic physics was famously explored by renowned physicists Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger. Their work on the Uncertainty Principle shed light on the unpredictable nature of particles at the quantum level. However, it is worth noting that Albert Einstein held a different belief, famously stating that "God does not play dice with the universe". This quote reflects his skepticism towards a random universe governed solely by chance. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are invited to contemplate the intricate interplay between science and philosophy. The image serves as a reminder that even within an ordered cosmos, there exists an element of unpredictability and uncertainty. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this profound concept through their artistic lens. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into deep questions about our existence and ponder whether there is indeed divine intervention or if everything truly unfolds according to chance alone.
