Is the universe walking a path it cannot avoid?

That is the deterministic view. It supposes if you know what happened at the start, then you can predict all events in the future. If quantum phenomena is in fact random, as is currently understood, then the universe is not deterministic. It is random.

But what is random? If I drop a million dice on the floor, I (a human) can't predict exactly which will show six but every one would land exactly how it would land under those conditions at that moment.

For yours and ours.
I just want to write good intelligent stories. Why can't I just do that?
I know this conversation will go on until I give up, so I'm surrendering now.
You're a great guy Matt.
I'm confused but thanks?
