There was a book about that.

| Quote Watsisname ( ) causality
So what do you think, is the universe deterministic or indeterministic?

| If I had to choose a philosophical view, then I find the idea of superdeterminism oddly attractive: the universe is completely deterministic and the problem with Bell's Theorem is in the assumption of the free will of the experimenter.
Of course, that's philosophy. I'm really not so much concerned about interpretations of quantum mechanics for as long as they are consistent with observations.

Seems like some people just don't want to give up the notion of free will, though it is a great illusion.

| Oh yes. Probably the most powerful and most useful illusion of them all.
If we don't give up free will to interpret quantum mechanics, do you think you have an easier time abandoning determinism or locality?

| Seems to me that all of physics is determined so giving up determinism is a no go. Even if certain phenomena can't be predicted or known at the time, it seems like the overall outcome is deterministic. Could be wrong but that makes the most sense.

| WOW! With my own experience with cameras, that kind of capability just seems like magic. Magic and about $20,000.
