Yeah, I’m aware. I was assuming some sort of aligned starting state with atoms whose configurations were perfectly known but I guess that’s not really possible.

  If you're thinking "yeah but what if we really knew the starting configuration" then you're not really understanding the uncertainty principle. There is no hidden state that we just don't have access to.

    Yes, that’s the realization I came to as well.

      You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000. Even Einstein had trouble believing that quantum must be random, but it is. The EPR paradox proves that.
