When is the photon going to escape from the electron. We know that that event will take place. We can't know when. Time is supported to be continuous, but, with quantum events we have order (this then that). At the quantum level when is uncertain.
Uncertain, yet radioactive decay has rates of decay based on probability?
Time the dimension: Tic toc tic toc .... Quantum decay: toc.......toc..tic..........tic.......kaboom .......
So time is a macro dimension say like humans seeing form and color while eyes take in quantum information blue here, red there, red here, red here, ...... blue there
I'm at a loss to connect the two even though one is constituent to the other. Maybe an emergent dimension except emergence is a conclusion not a dimension. If there is a unifying principle it probably doesn't include time.
We see pattern in randomness too. So I'm just not buying that something that only holds in macro theater is fundamental to nature.
