Jun 21, 2023 at 13:11 comment added Peter Turner @ray, quantum physicists believe in randomness like evolutionary biologists believe in natural selection and mathematicians believe in incompleteness and cosmologists believe in entropy and economists believe in the "invisible hand". If it's the tenant of their religion and as a religion it's a heresy, if it's a scientific principle it's a heuristic. Is it wrong to say that the apparent randomness in the universe is just something we don't understand which may truly be incomprehensible?
Jun 21, 2023 at 11:34 comment added Ray Butterworth That "all computer programmers know, randomness is a fallacy" is itself a fallacy. Yes, purely algorithmic random number generators only approximate randomness. But anything based on external, non-controllable, non-repeatable events is random. Try finding a quantum physicist that doesn't believe in randomness.
