As I understand it, QM describes a quantum vacuum of particles popping into existence and (usually) annihilating each other again, but what I've read doesn't tell me whether these events are thought to be truly uncaused, or whether they *could* be caused but the cause would be impossible to determine.
According to Quantum Mechanics, are events in the quantum vacuum truly uncaused or merely unknowable?theatre
Causality itself is a problem in QM. What QM does is give the probability density of these virtual particles and the adjustments to other calculations that must be made to take them into account. It also gives the probabilities of actually measuring certain particles when you do specific experiments. It does not talk about cause or effect for actual observations, though. Just probabilities.

Well, that's interesting.
The problem is that when it comes to Quantum stuff, you can't use common Newtonian calculations, so you have to depend on very highly speculative research. Sure, they're doing a lot to improve and get smaller, but you can only do so much right?
About popping into existence, there are so many problems with that, mainly because there is such a huge amount of randomness to take into account.
The probability of knowing where something is at any given time (Heisenberg's uncertainty Principle) is very very low if not impossible to know. There are so many errors that are introduced when you increase the numbers of molecules.
I would say that things are simply incalculable because there are still 'miracles' that can't be explained by modern science. Again, the probabilities are just too minute to understand, express, or even compute.
That answer was kinda roundabout and random, i'm sorry. Message me if you wanna talk about it more. :)
The events happen with a certain probability. The QM Theory allows you to calculate this probability.
