So, if a tree falls in the woods and there's nobody there to hear it, is there a sound? Maybe, the probability of a sound?

Perhaps Albert wasn't so wrong after all: read this and see for yourself!

Have We Been Interpreting Quantum Mechanics Wrong This Whole Time?

I'm not sure whether the cat is dead or alive or both after reading this, but I admit, a deterministic cat sounds more logical that probabilistic one!

1. Surface tension of the liquids Oil (petroleum or vegetable), Water, Glycerin etc...
2. Impact of the drop on the surface
3. Miscibility of the liquids
4. Specific gravity of the liquids
5. Vibration
