The long-held belief that the universe is deterministic has been challenged by quantum mechanics. Aspects of reality only allow statistical predictions rather than precise outcomes.
Decades of experimental evidence have shown that attempts to avoid the 'quantum spookiness' of nature through deterministic theories, like Bohmian mechanics, fail fundamentally.
The discoveries of radioactivity and quantum phenomena led to a paradigm shift, revealing limitations in predicting atomic and subatomic behavior with absolute certainty.
Many physicists, including Einstein, resisted the idea of quantum uncertainty, preferring determinism; however, this resistance has been undermined by empirical evidence.
