Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gardner's Random Bombardier thought experiment illustrates how uncaused, random events at the quantum (micro) level can influence outcomes at the macroscopic level, thereby challenging strict causal determinism by showing that such micro-level randomness can have significant, observable effects on the macro level.
