"In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states a fundamental limit on the accuracy with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In layman's terms, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be controlled, determined, or known."
It doesn't tells us that physical process is fundamentaly random (as in that randomness is objective reality)
- ealloc 14y agoRandomness doesn't come from the Heisenburg uncertainty principle, it comes from the Born rule. (and by the way, all this talk of randomness mainly applies to the copenhagen interpretation. Other interpretations, like many-worlds, do not really have 'randomness', though the meaning of the born rule in such an interpretation is unclear)
- majmun 14y agoMy view is that of Copenhagen interpretation. where this randomness is also not the part of objective reality. Many-worlds interpretation is even more extreme and less proven than view that reality is by nature random
