What would be your replies to this?
For people in the UK, This question was raised on the event of watching the doc series 'Horizon'
By definition random events are unpredictable.
Consider the tossing of a coin. It is considered a random event. But if you could know the exact initial position of the coin in the exact moment of the tossing, the forces applied on it, the air resistance, air speed and direction, gravity force, etc then you could predict the result ( head or tail ).
Physicists use to say the quantum phenomena are random. But are they really random or like in the coin example, you could determine the outcome if you could know all the factors that intervene in a quantum event ?
