| | eccentric probability For 3 of the 4 conics, the eccentricity is less than or equal to unity. In the theory of probability, unity represents absolute certainty while less than unity represents certain probability and zero represents impossibility. Therefore, the parabolas represent certainty of classical Newtonian mechanics. Ellipses represent uncertainty of quantum mechanics. Circles represent the impossibility of detecting the true vacuum even though its existence is a theoretical certainty.

| | Re: eccentric probability Continuing the analysis, what to hyperbolas represent?
Also, what is the probability of the eccentricities? What I mean by this question is that if, for example, it is more probable (there are more possibilities) to get a parabola or an elipsis than a perfect circle? | | | | 4th degree Black Belt

| | Re: eccentric probability Antonio,
But Ellipses have a probability to be a circle. As I have studied it is said Circle is a special case of an Ellipse. But then if one of the probability of an Ellipse is to be a circle then how can the circle be impossible.

Maybe, it's related to the probable existence of hyperspacetime, for example, from general relativity. | In your starter you say 'in 3 of the 4 conics the eccentricity is equal or less than 1'. So, do you think that there is a necessary incoerence between geometry and probability, or that they can live together (I still think their union, as I said months ago, shoul dbe the main task of mathematicians and mathematical physicists). | | | | Raider of the lost time
