Doesn't quantum uncertainty essentailly boil down to the idea that you can't at the same time know where exactly something is, and it's velocity.
Maybe i'm a dummy, but how does our inability to currently understand the behavior of certain subatomic particles have to do with determinism?
As i understand it determinism has to do with the idea that everything that will ever happen was set in motion unchangably by the big bang at the beginning of the universe, while quantum uncertainty simply states that we can't know exactly what is going on down there.
I guess that i don't understand how our ability to understand the behavior subatomics has anything to do with the idea that everything that will ever happen was determined the moment the universe exploded.
The universe does what it does regardless of whether we can understand it.
