As much as I know, quantum mechanics are still just a theory. A nice theory indeed, and proven logically, but I as much as I recall, practically improvable - you cannot know the starting properties of testing objects without ruining your base idea of test. ___________________________________________ _____ "Seeing is believing.

If you measured the state of the blocks, you would find that they obey Newtonian mechanics, and you could predict which block was on top, given enough information about their state at some point and the forces acting upon them.
So ? OK, now we know which block was on top. Now, how to we know WHICH BLOCK IS TAKEN ? Becomes more random, eh ? Now presume that the person who takes blocks out of the sack is clinically unpredictable. Now, is this TRULY random ?
Heisenberg's uncertainity principle is as much simplification as Newton's Laws of Mechanics.
My point is: If you know what the starting qualities of each undivisible particle were in the very beginning of the existence (call it Big Bang or gnab gib or whatever), and also the Equation of the World (as I like to call it), you could predict everything in the universe (if you had enough computing power, of course). Of course, it's hard to get the knowledge needed for such prediction, but in principle it's not impossible...
Next you'll be telling us you know more that he does.
No, I'm not. I surely do not know more than almost any of Physics professor you can name here.
I just believe that for everything there is a formula and that there's a kinda metaformula, which describes EVERYTHING in this world. Everything else is simplification.
Maybe my theory is wrong. But then again - nothing is wrong unless proved so.
(pardon my English, it's almost 3am here, I'm having a bad flu and it's not my first language.)
Hmmz... would it be something like taking a full sack of numbered blocks and picking them ?
Anyway, there cannot be a TRULY random number. There is nothing random. For everything there is an equation. _____________ http://www.rate.ee/useri nfo.php?id=44769 Just for testing...

Unless truth is the description.
Just think of the world as a great computer.
