Does tint in a water glass move randomly?

314 viewsOtherPhysics

If we let a tint drop fall into a glass of water, it looks like it spreads randomly.

But let’s they we could repeat the experiment under the exact same conditions (with the same glass, water volume, arrangement of water molecules, amount of tint, fall height and everything that could affect the equation). Would the tint drop spread exactly the same or would it still be random? Do we have any knowledge about the correlation of time and matter in an theoretical experiment like this?

A cool tought experiment is that you could drop the same drop an infinite number of times and one of the possible outcomes would look like time was moving in reverse, it would look like the paint drop is coming back together.
