Hi, my question is simply: "Is all physical phenomena deterministic?" or said different, "Can all physical systems be predicted exactly given initial conditions?"
I am not very far into my studies in physics, but I am aware there is such a thing as the "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal" and it has to do with an uncertainty of the state of very small particles.
Is it generally accepted by physicists that the uncertainty principal is simply modeling phenomena that we are currently unable to explain analytically or is it suspected that there is an actual randomness or a sort of divine influence in events that actually makes the future indeterminate?
