Comment by Michael7 on Can You Prove Two Particles Are Identical? · 2008-04-14T09:38:52.000Z · LW · GW

If nature creates trillions and gazillion snowflakes, each of which is not identical to one another, then it certainly is not impossible that electrons would behave the same way or have similar characteristics. With the naked eye, snowflakes look all the same, and only with the invention of a powerful tool such as as microscope did we finally realise that they are all unique.... so for me as neither a philosopher nor a physicists, I guess it seems plausible...
