Thank you for the kind welcome.
And thank you for your enlightening answers.
I had the sneaking suspicion that it was fair to say that there are events, in the quantum world, for which a cause cannot safely be attributed. It seems, reading from the replies, that the statistical/random...
Thanks everyone for some insightful answers.
After reading I realized I hadn't really completely stated why question. I am interested in whether or not for all effects that occur, there is always a cause or whether some effects are causeless.
The example of the radioactive decay as gives...
