Quantum Randomness: When God Does Play Dice

There are books that don't so much explain the world as open a door—to a part of it where everything is still possible. "Quantum Randomness" by Swiss physicist Nicolas Gisin is precisely such a book. It's not just about physics. It's about the boundaries of reality, about how we—people, consciousnesses, observers—are embedded in the fabric of the universe, woven not from things, but from probabilities.

Gizan, a key participant in the quantum entanglement experiments, speaks of the central paradox of modern science: at the very heart of the world lies randomness. Not error, not ignorance, but genuine, fundamental uncertainty. What Einstein once denied, saying, "God does not play dice," turns out to be true. And it does so brilliantly.

The author takes the reader through a world of quantum correlations, nonlocality, and teleportation—phenomena that defy conventional logic. Particles separated by billions of kilometers "know" about each other. Reality responds to the act of observation. And we are not external witnesses, but participants, woven into the experiment itself.

But hidden behind the scientific details of the book is a deeper question—almost metaphysical: if chance lies at the foundation of the world, does that mean our freedom is also real? That each of our decisions is not simply a calculated result of the past, but a flash of uncertainty, the possibility of a new branching out?

Gizan reflects cautiously and poetically on the “second quantum revolution” – a time when physics ceases to be a theory and becomes the architecture of a new world: quantum communications, generators of genuine randomness, cryptography that trusts precisely in unpredictability.

And perhaps the most important thing in the book is the sense of wonder. The feeling that the Universe is not a mechanism, but a living fabric of meaning, where everything responds, where observation gives birth to being.

"Quantum Randomness" isn't about formulas. It's a book about humility and freedom, about the beauty of the unpredictable. It's about how, deep within matter, beats a heart of mystery—and it coincides with our own.

Quantum randomness and freedom of action

Freedom has long seemed a matter of psychology, philosophy, and sometimes even faith. But perhaps it begins deeper—where particles don't know where to jump until they're seen. Where reality is born from an act of choice.

In his book "Quantum Chance," Nicolas Gisin speaks of a world in which determinism is no longer king. The universe is not bound by causality as if by iron—it contains breath, emptiness, possibility. Every event is not a consequence, but an opportunity. Every moment is not a continuation, but a beginning.

There's something comforting about this: physics, cold and strict, suddenly confirms what man has always felt deep down—that everything can be different. Not everything is predetermined. Not everything is calculated. Even in the structure of matter, there remains room for miracles.

But freedom is not anarchy. In the quantum world, randomness is not chaos, but potential. It does not destroy order—it gives it the opportunity to change. So it is with humans: they are not outside the laws, but within their movement. Their actions are like observations, capable of changing the outcome. The world awaits a glance to become something definite.

Quantum physics is becoming a poetry of choice. We are not spectators. We are co-authors. And perhaps this is precisely what freedom of action is—not simply doing what you want, but participating in the creation of reality.

When Gizan speaks of a "second quantum revolution," he's not talking about technology, but about a new understanding of ourselves. We are entering an era when physics and ethics, observation and responsibility, are beginning to resonate in unison. Everything we look at becomes us. Everything we touch changes.
