The article you linked to seems to say the universe is indeterministic:
> Indeterminism in Quantum Mechanics is given by another "evolution" that the wavefunction may experience: wavefunction collapse.
I’ll give you that it’s not a fully settled issue though:
> According to the Copenhagen interpretation of QM, it does mean the universe is non-deterministic. There are other interpretations of QM which allow for determinism though. Which is the correct interpretation (if any)? Currently, no one knows.
Here’s another article:

> Most physicists would not regard the events in our universe as deterministic, or clockwork if you insist; they are in fact considered probabilistic
> randomness (ie indeterminism) has been proven to be real by the National Institute for Science and Technology’s work on a randomness beacon.
