In Newtonian physics, if we know the state of the world at some moment of time, then we can precisely predict the state of the world at all future times. In this sense, Newtonian physics is deterministic. In modern physics (starting with quantum mechanics), theories are usually non-deterministic in the sense that even if we know exactly the initial state of the world, we cannot uniquely predict the future state of the world. In quantum mechanics (and in most modern quantum-based physical theories), the best we can get is probabilities of different future states. In this sense, in the majority of modern physical theories, uncertainty is of statistical nature.

Maximum Entropy and Acausal Processes: Astrophysical Applications and Challenges

This paper seeks to investigate the questions of: How does the constancy of the speed of light come about? Why does time dilation and length contraction occur? Are they physical effects with a mechanism? Does mass have a role is in these effects? Is Relativity an emergent phenomenon? The enquiry is along a different tact than the standard Lorentzian invariance canon but in the realm of readily known experimental facts or analogies and theory in the domain of wave propagation and solid state physics. These analogies, to almost prosaic physics, have a small following and are called Ether Theories, which modern physics has implicitly reinstated by General Relativity and Quantum Field Theories. In the category of Ether Theories based on analogies to solid state physics, this presentation is unique in not being Lorentz invariant; it is based on earlier papers by the author enquiring into the speed of coincidence counting of the Bell Inequality and a communication protocol. It is believed that Lorentz invariance emerges from the Ether and all Relativistic Mechanics can be built from the bottom up. The conclusion is that space-time is not really curved but the effects are all ascribable to mass gain.
