I have just read about the Chaos Theory, which explains that even though the initial state of events may seem unrelated and random, eventually patterns emerge and in the end all the pieces fit together. So basically no matter how random life seems there is always a way to predict what is going to happen.
All theories that I read about seem to interest me, like the Schrodinger's Cat Paradox. In which Erwin Schrodinger locked a cat inside an air proof chamber for an hour with a small source of radiation and a radiation sensor that at a random point (determined by a computer or just generally at random) during the hour will be activated smashing a vial of poison killing the cat. This is a paradox because until the hour is up and someone looks to see that the cat is dead, that cat is simultaneously alive and dead, thus posing the question of when quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into either of the set events. This actually can be solved using a simple de-randomisation formula, which would allow you to calculate when the radiation kicks in and the vial of poison is smashed, thus giving you a rough estimate of when the cat would have been subjected to the poison. Then when you add the amount of time that it would take for the poison to kill the cat to when the cat would have first been first subjected to the poison you will find the rough time during said hour that the cat died.
The Schrodinger's Cat Paradox can be applied in life as shown (in a rather archaic form) in The Big Bang Theory (TV Series), by simply saying that you don't know whether something is one way or another if you don't check first.
This... is what happens when I can't sleep.
