The Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677) wrote in "Ethics I": "Nothing in Nature is random. … A thing appears random only through the incompleteness of our knowledge." In modern physics, certain quantum processes are deemed fundamentally random. "As we currently understand it, quantum randomness is true and absolute randomness," said theoretical physicist York Dobyns in an email to the Epoch Times. "Nothing in the universe can predict quantum outcomes except at a statistical level." Put simply, things are considered fundamentally fuzzy or indeterminate in quantum theory. A particle may behave as a wave; Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that we have a limited ability to know more than one physical property of a particle (such as position and momentum) at the same time; radioactive decay is unpredictable, it results from a particle quantum tunneling into or out of the nucleus. As far as physicists can tell, quantum mechanics includes true randomness. But Spinoza may
