    • 2005 April 8, Brian Greene, “One Hundred Years of Uncertainty”, in The New York Times‎[1]:
      The reason we have for so long been unaware that the universe evolves probabilistically is that for the relatively large, everyday objects we typically encounter -- baseballs, flowerpots, the Moon -- quantum mechanics shows that the probabilities become highly skewed, hugely favoring one outcome and effectively suppressing all others.
