Random Numbers and "Chaos Theory"

[DD_8630]

As I said, quantum mechanics does not agree with you; nothing in quantum mechanics says something happens all by itself or that anything is random. This is merely your mistaken assumption.

On the contrary, this is one of the founding features of quantum mechanics. As a theoretical phyicist, I have had extensive training and experiance in quantum mechanics. While some areas are exceedingly difficult, we are simply talking of the basic posits of quantum mechanics, and this spontaneity is a direct result of them.

Indeed, I would like to see your explanation of radioactive decay that doesn't involve such spontaneity.

Einstein's photoelectric effect does not refute this.

My point was that the effect disproves classical mechanics. Nevertheless, the explanation for the effect requires the same probabilistic spontaneity.
