Title: Do quantum uncertainties differ in any essential way from the uncertainty in a c
Post by: einsteindude on Dec 3, 2014
Do quantum uncertainties differ in any essential way from the uncertainty in a coin flip, and why or why not?
A) They don't differ in any essential way--both are a consequence of the observer's insufficient information and can be removed by obtaining additional information.
B) With sufficient information, a coin flip's outcome can be predicted, but no amount of information can remove quantum uncertainties.
C) They don't differ in any essential way--both uncertainties are "inherent in nature" and cannot be removed by additional information.
D) You can make money with coin flips but you can't make a red cent out of quantum theory.
E) With sufficient information, quantum uncertainties can be removed, but no amount of information can make a coin flip predictable.
