There are some streams that aren't even pointing in the general direction of the chunk, though (eg. far left at very beginning). Would that still hold?
you mean the one nearly vertical? i'm not sure what caused that, but am very doubtful that it's quantum uncertainty .. perhaps someone with more knowledge of potential flaws in the designs of cloud chambers could be of assistance

Cosmic rays - the earth cops a lot of ionising radiation from space every second, and I’ve seen plenty of radiation in cloud chambers with no active source inside.
Plus depending on where you are there’s an observable background from bricks, ground etc.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
