How do you know it's truly random though? Couldn't it be the result of a pseudo random process? Or universe splitting, where two universes are created, one where a coin lands head, and one where it lands tails. To the people inside, it seems random, but it's actually deterministic.
- tbabb 11y agoPseudorandom means the choice is deterministically chosen by according to the state of hidden variables. Bell's theorem says there are no hidden variables that completely explain the predictions of quantum mechanics. A many-worlds interpretation (which is consistent with QM) is basically the same as saying the result is random, because you can't predict exactly which branch any particular interaction will follow.
