This thread is to discuss quantum mechanics and its impact on our ideas of causality, reality, and such. it is an outgrowth of the discussion at Why it's easier to be a creationist than an atheist. Specifically, @exchemist is invited to discuss!
One question is how our classical ideas of causality have to be modified in light of the discoveries of quantum theory. In particular, the fact that initial conditions do NOT determine later states means that the classical concept of causality needs at least some massage.
