The Philosophy of Superdeterminism Supported by Quantum Randomness

The philosophy of superdeterminism is based on a single scientific fact about the universe, namely that cause and effect in physics are not real. The philosophy of superdeterminism is supported by quantum randomness. Although quantum events at the microscopic level are inherently probabilistic, the macroscopic world we experience appears deterministic due to the sheer number of particles and interactions involved. Quantum mechanics explains that at our scale, the vast multitude of individual quantum probabilities effectively average out, smoothing over the inherent uncertainty of the quantum realm and leading to the predictable, classical behavior we observe in everyday objects and phenomena. The important takeaway is that macroscopic reality is based on a sequence of inherently random events at the quantum scale. The fact that all physical reality consists of a series of inherently random quantum behaviors strongly suggests that cause and effect in physics are not real. True inherent randomness in quantum mechanics implies that an event is uncaused in the deterministic sense, as its outcome cannot be predicted or determined by any prior physical conditions. Consequently, all physical reality consists of a series of uncaused quantum behaviors, which would not have to be the case, if cause and effect in physics were real. Moreover, the spontaneous coming into existence of a random quantum event would violate Dr. Hansson’s proof that we live in a superdeterministic universe. If the spontaneous coming into existence of random quantum events, like the spin measurement results of entangled particles, were real, then this would result in the potential for inconsistent spin measurement results observed from different inertial frames of reference violating Special Relativity.
