How strong really is the science around the theory that the universe is deterministic?
Like what is the percentage likelihood that it's true based on the strength of the evidence?

Extremely strong, in that non-deterministic phenomena have never been observed.
>Like what is the percentage likelihood that it's true based on the strength of the evidence?
About 69.420%

Laughs in quantum, indeed.
Nothing in quantum science provides evidence that the universe is non-deterministic when you look past pop-philosophy.

Look what I drew.
I wrote the "pseudocode",
and Gemini wrote the corresponding Python code.
I couldn't draw the hole in the middle of the gear,
because I don't know what its radius is.

The interior angles are π/3 and 3*π/2.

Not too strong, since 99% of models can't predict shit.

Eh, basically any result in an experiment would be considered deterministic. You could have a guy boiling water with his mind and Science fags would still try to blame subatomic dominoes. Determinism has no null hypothesis

>non-deterministic phenomena have never been observed.
Deterministic phenomena have never been observed. You can't name a single one. It's pure fantasy fiction that falls apart under basic scrutiny and any kind of real-world conditions, including meticulously arranged lab conditions.

There is no science around it whatsoever. It's metaphysics through and through, a game of make-believe about Laplace's Demon that paradoxically carries on even in the face of solid physical proof that Laplace was wrong in his most basic assumptions.

Causality is unverifiable

>Causality is unverifiable
Causality doesn't imply determinism, either way. Unless you wanna go down the route of causes causing causes in an infinite regress, you have to settle for some fundamental factors that can't be accounted for causally. They can act as sources of nondeterminism in a strictly causal system. Causality can even amplify nondeterminism to an arbitrary degree via chaos.

Which is also comprised of quantum states. Not sure if this is the slamdunk insight you think it is.

>>16900044
non-determinism is an interpretation of quantum mechanics, not scientific law.

Mentally ill retards always project. And they always do so clownish.
>>
>>16899957
What physicists mean when they say quantum science has an indeterministic aspect to it is that space is continuous, rendering finite measurements inaccurate since you would require an infinite amount of precision to achieve absolute predictive power.
It has nothing to do with causality, however. If we were to copy-paste the universe with all its physical properties, it would behave identically to the current universe.

Indeterminism and causality are compatible in this way.

Sorry, but you're a retarded biobot who doesn't know what he's talking about, but also does not (and in fact cannot) know that he doesn't know.

It's impossible to prove one way or the other.
No matter how deterministic something looks, you can't prove it was not just the result of chance.
No matter how random something looks, you can't prove it there was no hidden mechanical cause.

>No matter how deterministic something looks
No system looks deterministic in real life. Not in any objective terms.

>No matter how random something looks, you can't prove it there was no hidden mechanical cause.
Ok, but this unfalsifiable Determinism of the Gaps fantasy has no intersection with scientific thinking.
>>
>>16904057
>No system looks deterministic in real life.
Considering before Heisenberg physics was very close to develop a 100% deterministic description of the universe, I'd rather say the opposite.

>Ok, but this unfalsifiable
So is the alternative.

You didn't even dispute what I wrote, let alone actually refuting it.
