The detailed statement is that: for every physical system there
exists a wave function, a function of the parameters of the system (coordinates
and such) and time, from which the outcome of any experiment can be predicted.
In these lectures I will not touch on systems that depend on other parameters
than coordinates, but examples are known, such as the spin of an electron,
which can be up or down, and is not like a coordinate at all.
