So it's highly suggestive that at its most fundamental, the universe appears to be non-deterministic. No theory predicts exactly when this neutron will decay.

Wouldn't determinism have been "easier?" If there is no free will, non-determinism seems like a lot of trouble to go to for nothing!
- aninhumer 12y ago(You might be joking, but I'll give my po-faced reaction anyway.) >Wouldn't determinism have been "easier?" This question doesn't really have any meaning. Easiness is a concept imagined by humans in the context of our own endeavours. And even if you suppose a sentient creator similar to ourselves, we still have no means to judge what kinds of universes would be easier or harder to create.
