There is nothing random in QM, only in it's interpretation. But interpretations are meaningless as there is no way to differentiate them via experiment.

- jderick 18y agoI never said there was anything random. Only non-deterministic. Of course, we are arguing philosophy, so experiments are useless.
- mattmaroon 18y agoPeople have, throughout the ages, attributed to randomness (or now non-determinism) things they couldn't understand.
- steveplace 18y agoOr they attributed it to a higher power (fatalism/determinism). Pick your poison.

- eru 18y agoI'd like to hold the opposite view: There is randomness but the world is still deterministic. Just imagine there was a big one-time table of random numbers generated with the world. Whenever a random bit is needed, it's gets taken from the table.
