There are certain random type events, like the virtual pair creation that causes the Casimir effect. What I meant is that QM didn't do away with causality for a wide range of event types. For nuclear fission, star formation, chemical processes and many other event types, physical causality is an essential part of the current picture on physics.Oh, definitely. Causality still exists, just not for everything (as we hitherto supposed
