If we have an atom that is in an excited state and so is going to emit a photon, we cannot say when it will emit the photon. It has a certain amplitude to emit the photon at any time, and we can predict only a probability for emission; we cannot predict the future exactly.
Europeans are much more serious than we are in America because they think that a good place to discuss intellectual matters is a beer party.
