It predicts probabilities based on experiments conducted in the subatomic setting, where the probabilities are impossible to visualize. ... Quantum theory can be understood by demonstrating this example: there is no way to calculate where a single photon in a double slit experiment will strike the photographic plate, however, we can calculate the probability that it will strike it at a certain place. Basically, the outcomes of the variables involved can be only predicted but they are not absolute; it is also known as the uncertainty principle. ...
