The quantum particles take all posibles action, then we feel one of them... could be that the fate?

Quantum physics does not imply that fate exists. Fate means that things happen because of a cause, that everything is predetermined.

Quantum physics implies the exact opposite, that nothing is predetermined. There may be different possibilities, and any of them may actually come true, each possibility having the same chance as coming true as the others.

Fate, however, is consistent with classical mechanics, since both agree that there is a cause for everything, and everything is also a cause for something.

The quantum theory tells us that the smaller the particles, the less we can know about them with certainty, and the less they behave like particles. The fundamental particles of matter, like the electron, do not follow a single path or aren't solely in a single place: they exist as if they were a probability wave, that would define the places where it would most likely be and the paths it would most likely follow, but we can never tell that the particle is her or passed through here. It's like as if it would partially be everywhere: it's as if it would be mostly in the most likely places to be, but also a little in those places where it would be almost impossible for it to be. Than, what makes it a particle? What makes it actually BE in a place or follow a certain path? How can we say the electron IS there, or went through there?
When we try to describe the movement of those particles through classical mechanics, we can't express coherent results. The realm of the extremely small is inaccessible through the physics of the realm of the big. All that happens at subatomic and atomic levels are quantum fluctuations of probability waves, but when we look at the macroscopic results of these combined fluctuations, we are unable to see a chaos of probabilities: we see a determined and objective thing. I wouldn't call that fate. All those fluctuations take place in ourselves as well: our thoughts, our actions, our feelings, they're all results of the same quantum fields' fluctuations. What ends up manifesting in the "common" world isn't the determined fate of those fluctuations, or else there would be no fluctuations of probabilities, for it would all be determined. No. Our universe is causal, but is not determinist. Every single particle has influence in the evolution of the system, like every single person has influence in the evolution of humanity, and like every single cell of your body has influence in the evolution of you as a biological system. When something occurs, there's no escaping causality: its consequences will surely happen. But besides that, there is nothing that determines what will result from all the fluctuations of the quantum fields: it's the attention focus that isolates a single reality and brings it into macroscopic manifestation, and each human being is born with one. It is through that attention focus that one chooses what happens, what he sees, what he experiences, what he feels, everything. Each one is a creator, for each one carries all possibilities within his own quantum field. Quantum mechanics is the closest science has ever been with spirituality: its mysteries enshrine most of the mysteries of life. But I don't see fate in it: instead, I see an endless scale of possibilities. If there weren't lifeforms like us, there wouldn't be the world as it is: everything would remain a potencial possibility. The universe is consciousness. That's the meaning of life.

I have a tough time with a calculator but I will give this a shot. I think fate does exist. I believe your whole life is all planed from beginning to end. We take actions on fate, if not, we would all be equal. I chose not to go to college, there for my fate may be allot different than someone who did. I say may because I am not sure what will happen to me next. I am a big risk taker as far as doing things that might hurt or kill me. I am not looking for death, but when fate arrives, it doesn't matter what I am doing, I will die. Does that make sense?

Well (im only 14..so bear with me) but
The fact that particles can be identical has important consequences in statistical mechanics. Calculations in statistical mechanics rely on probabilistic arguments, which are sensitive to whether or not the objects being studied are identical. As a result, identical particles exhibit markedly different statistical behavior from distinguishable particles. For example, the indistinguishability of particles has been proposed as a solution to Gibb's mixing paradox.

because it could, in an unending universe there are unending posibilities which means logically that not only could it happen but its happening now already happened and is going to happen again.
