Re: Quantum Mechanics.
Anyway, just a couple of points for both of you. It is quite possible that determinism will be restored in a deeper theory to QM, and this has been worked on for some time, both with decoherence and more recent work. Don't forget that all the Apsect experiments demonstrate is that there are no hidden CLASSICAL variables. It is all about statistics, and statistics do not in themselevs imply indeterminism.
What would this "quite possible" restoration of determinism mean for the uncertainty principle? I take it that it could NO LONGER be a principle.
