Philosopher of #physics John Norton found a solution to Newtonian physics that seems to show that indeterminism is indeed at the heart of the previously thought deterministic Newton laws.
This video does a *great* job explaining it. Except for a few math details regarding the exact building of the dome, everything's in the video!
As you can guess, there has been a lot of heated debate around this problem, but in my humble opinion, what Norton has found seems entirely valid. #philosophy
