Oh no not another free will thread.

Well, I don't know what it would mean to know something but not to know why. When you know something will happen with an absolute certainty it tends to only be because you have figured out that the opposite is logically impossible. So I can't make sense of the idea of absolutely knowing something without knowing why (or how).

Isn't that exactly what happens after a quantum event occurs?  We know the result with absolute certainty, without knowing why or how the result happened?

Isn't it known mathematically though? That works in the same way as logic.

As far as I'm concerned there is no "why"... only how. And the how is shown with the math.

I think the problem is that it seems acausal because the math appears to turn out differently each time, or something like that?

Then I go back to my point that ultimately in objective reality I think there are causes. They're just beyond our reach. The math is based on our experience. We're not testing reality we're testing our experience of reality. Our experience of reality is, of course, all we can ever experience, hehe.
