Try as you may, you cannot devise reasonable laws of nature that would cause that process to work in reverse. Wheeler and Feynman solved this problem to their satisfaction with statistics. Although their results worked on the small scale of atoms and sub-atomic particles, an analogy of their argument on a large scale seems unreasonable. Occasionally, these potentials all line up and those certain particles come together in the air and fly away. Einstein was never satisfied with this statistical explanation of time and space.
Statistical analysis can give insight into real things.
It would be difficult to describe the general movement of sand on a beach without thinking in terms of statistics, for example. But, Einstein saw that the statistical method of analysis could not completely represent reality because it lacked a clear concept of cause and effect. This was an old mule that Einstein had to ride, however, because his own theory of relativity also lacked any clear concept of cause and effect. The absence of clear concepts of cause and effect in Quantum Theory and in the Theory of Relativity may be due in part to the influence of David Hume. This notion held until Immanuel Kant showed that the idea of cause and effect is indeed valid.
