    Randomness
In summary, quantum mechanics suggests that some objects (such as particles) can only be predicted in random terms. This is in contrast to the universe, which we understand to be composed of deterministic processes.

Great question, dilsfunspot. I propose that perfect randomness not only doesn't exist--it is impossible! If this is true, what is the ramification of this in physics?

I don't think that randomness exist. Technically you can study every particle and it's place in space and you can pretty much know what's going to happen next. Everything happens for a reason
