Question

Quantum mechanics and classical mechanics are alike because they both try to predict what will happen when a system experiences changes. Answer True False

Answer 1

I would say that the question is not properly formulated; every theory (even religion) "... try to predict what will happen when a system experiences changes..." but that doesn't make them all "alike"

For a description of scientific theory; read - http://www.fisica.net/relatividade/stephen_hawking_a_brief_history_of_time.pdf
"In order to talk about the nature of the universe and to discuss questions such as whether it has a beginning or an end, you have to be clear about what a scientific theory is..."
Page 7, para 3

Answer 2

"every theory (even religion)".. since when is religion considered a theory? lol

Answer 3

Anything proposed by someone from the ranks of human is a theory to me.. LOL

Answer 4

"the ranks of human"?

anything proposed is a hypothesis until there is sufficient empirical evidence that supports the claim made, therefore religion is hypothetical (unless you have evidence suggesting otherwise).

Answer 5

I'll first need the definition of "sufficient" as in "sufficient empirical evidence"..
BTW I believe in nothing.. :P
(& maybe we'll get suspended for this stuff XD )

Answer 6

Honestly, I never really understood the difference b/w a hypothesis and a theory..I used to think discarded theories were referred by using the term hypothesis..
