Not even wrong: Why does nobody like pilot-wave theory? [pdf]
I have an unrelated question to the physics nerds. Is it even possible to determine whether the universe is deterministic or not from inside the universe?<p>Let&#x27;s imagine a simplified example. I give you two sets of numbers (let&#x27;s pretend they are atom coordinates). One set is purely random, another one is generated with a very simple formula (example: f(n) = SHA256(N + salt)). I will give you as many of the numbers as you want. Can you determine which set is which (if you don&#x27;t know the formula ahead of time)?
