Re: Is there inherent, observable randomness in the universe?

When did you last see an atom?

OK you have a point there. I suppose I should have said we use measuring instruments which need light to transmit the information much like our eyes do, as opposed to our other sensory organs. Or is this not true either?

There are efforts to remove the randomness by hidden variable theory but there is no demonstration that this view is correct.

So you are saying that a minority of physicists believe there is an underlying deterministic process behind the uncertainty principle?
Is it safe to say, then, that inherent randomness of the universe has not been *proven* (at least to the extent that something can be proven in physics), even though it is widely (but not unanimously) believed among leading physicists?
