Hi All,
How do we tell the difference between something being random and something being deterministic but unpredictable because of limitations without with our tools/technology or methods of knowing (e.g. uncertainty principal)?
Are there cases where we cannot tell the difference? For example, in sub-atomic uncertainty where we can't predict an objects position and momentum at the same time, do we think that its position is random, or is it deterministic but just unknowable. Or, are we uncertain which of these two it is?
Thanks!
