Classical mechanics is an approximation of quantum mechanics

The main difference between newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics lies in the way it describes them. In classical mechanics, the future of the particle has been determined by:

  1. the initial position,
  2. initial momentum as well as,
  3. forces acting on the particle.

In the macroscopic world, this quantity can all be determined by a sufficient boiler to obtain a newton mechanics prediction that matches the observation
