QM indeterminate particles are not an example of something uncaused. RR posted previously:
Quantum mechanics merely describe what takes place at the quantum level. It makes no reference to causes, but that does not imply that there are no causal entities involved.
Feser hypothesizes that perhaps Oerter understands the law of causality to refer to some sort of deterministic cause, and since quantum mechanics are supposedly indeterministic (a disputed interpretation), the law of causality could not apply. Feser notes that “[t]he principle of causality doesn’t require that. It requires only that a potency be actualized by something already actual; whether that something, whatever it is, actualizes potencies according some sort of pattern –deterministic or otherwise — is another matter altogether.”
The fact of the matter is that quantum mechanics has not identified causeless effects or invalidated the causal principle. For any event to occur it must first have the potential to occur, and then have that potential actualized. If that potential is actualized, it “must be actualized by something already actual,”[2] and that something is what we identify as the cause. https://theosophical.wordpress.com/2012/...principle/
Okay, cool.
So... do you think the idea in regards to Hawking radiation is all a furphy then?
In regards to atomic decay. Other than the Uranium 'Wanting' to fall apart (Eventually into Lead. I mean, how sucky is that? Uranium eventually turns into Lead. Wouldn't the whole place be soo much better if the darn stuff fell apart into something useful..... Such as Gold.

As a side note.... the decay of Uranium, while 'Quantum', is very much a 'Macro' scale thing.
Not at work.
