May I take the liberty of translating your remarks about quantum physics? At the particle and atomic level we cannot simultaneously measure definite values for position and momentum, or for energy and the time at which we are measuring, etc. For many quantities we can only calculate an expectation value, some kind of average over many measurements. For example the electron in a hydrogen atom has an average expected distance from the proton but various individual measurements of the position may find the electron at a distance of zero from the proton, for example. In stock terms, we may lose our shirt in one stock but if we diversify we will experience some average long term gain. Is this your point?
