"Probability?"
"No, there isn't a probability. This isn't a probability question about dice throwing." Tomcat shook its head. "We are unable to precisely predict the time of the space station's crash only because we do not have its detailed orbit numbers. If the space station's system hadn't been put out of commission, we would have been able to predict the time of the crash to the minute… Tang Yue, this isn't a bet. Its destiny was fixed in place the moment the accident happened. It's just something we aren't aware of."
Tang Yue was taken aback before he understood what Tomcat was saying. What they were facing wasn't dice that hadn't been rolled, but an outcome that had already been determined.
They didn't know because they were blind.
For some baffling reason, Tang Yue recalled Schrödinger's cat.
If one didn't observe it, then one wouldn't know if the cat was dead or alive.
