That a group of particles is described (determined?) a simple math equation, and those particles are also made of particles which is described (determined?) by another simple math equation and so on. Why can't there exist an equation that determines the number of galaxies in the universe as of right now?

Warm regards, Harv

      • Do you agree that... - harvey1 - January 17, 2002 - 23:13 UTC
        • Galaxies are not identical, like particles. - alexander - January 18, 2002 - 00:15 UTC
      • That's not the point, though - harvey1 - January 18, 2002 - 17:25 UTC
        • Harvey, you are again incorrect. - alexander - January 20, 2002 - 22:07 UTC

        • Correction.Least action principle follows from f=ma,not vicevers - alexander - January 21, 2002 - 18:20 UTC
