Default Re: Why is Randomness so Hard to Prove?

QM has an inherently random factor within the wave-function. QM is random by its own definition and does not need proof beyond this. To debunk the randomness of QM, one would need to show that something beyond the wave function could be well defined, and make more accurate predictions.

Also, the wave function's uncertainty is not proof against determinism, but since there is uncertainty, its defeinitely a reduced form of predictability. This amounts to being able to predict only the wave function itself at any point in time.
