Question

Hello Rabbi,
I didn’t understand your conclusion regarding the nonexistence of a physical solution to free choice from quantum theory.
A. I don’t understand anything about this theory beyond what you wrote in the book, but—who says that the particles move randomly? Seemingly, the fact that we don’t know how they move doesn’t justify saying that it’s random, only that there is a sufficient reason or cause that we still haven’t found. After all, that’s how the physical world works, so why go so far as to say that it’s random?
B. Even if we assume that we found that quantum theory operates for a reason or sufficient cause—that still wouldn’t require a materialist approach. At most, it would mean that I identify in the physical world a phenomenon of atoms moving without a physical motive, but that doesn’t tell me that the motion doesn’t stem from something non-material.
 
I’d be glad to hear your opinion,
 
Ariel
