How many snowflakes do we need to create an avalanche?

· Web · 1 · 1

@forteller it depends if they're general snowflakes or special snowflakes.

@Wolf480pl @forteller it depends on whether the law of large numbers is applicable.

@wictory @forteller I thought it was more about considering gravity vs ignoring it. Also, if we put quantum mechanics into the mix, we'll get quantum field snowflakes or something...

@Wolf480pl @forteller I assumed quantum effects cannot ever be ignored. But why would special snowflakes not have gravity?
