Did anybody on here catch that physics forum on superdeterminism?

Shouldnt it be obvious that a coinflip isnt random?

Yes Hp I think it is to most of us

And the proof is? Anyone ever managed to predict the outcome of a coinflip?

Indeed, one should define "random" before proceeding

All I am saying is that the idea a coin flip is not random is a rather facile cliché, which nobody is able to prove.

Determinism is reassuring for our rational mind, but that doesn't make it true.

For all we know, the entire universe could be totally and utterly unpredictable, including coin tosses.

Techniques to favor one over the other have been described may instances in lavish detail, as close to absolute proof as mathematically possible

This study shows that when participants are given simple instructions about how to manipulate the toss of a coin and only a few minutes to practise this technique, more than half can significantly manipulate the outcome

Problem solved then.
