Mathematicians comment on QM:-"MAX TEGMARK: Quantum mechanics famously threw that monkey wrench into the old idea of causality when it turned out there are certain experiments where you can't say for sure what's going to happen. But you can take a purely mathematical description, known as the Schrödinger equation, and say that it always applies to everything, so there is no random or indeterminate thing about that. It just means that the actual full reality is bigger than the reality that we can see.
 
TKF: Are you saying that to us it feels subjective and random, but above it all there is this order that we just can't perceive? -MAX TEGMARK: Yes. It's like if they put one clone of you in a room labeled A and the original you in a room labeled B. When you come out the next morning and look at your room label, you can't predict whether you are going to see A or B because you have no way of knowing whether you're the clone. So it's going to seem subjectively random to you whether you come out of room A or room B. But someone who is observing both you and your clone will be able to predict that if your clone comes out of room A, than your original version will come out of room B."-
