This differs on micro and macro levels. For example, take a closed jar
filled with air. The location of any particular molecule or atom at any
given time isn't easy to calculate, and you actually *can't* calculate
both the position and velocity of a particle. But the aggregate,
contained in that jar, is easily determined.
