    Supports→Whether Craig's response to the quantum objection succeeds is unresolved and depends on deeper metaphysical and physical questions

    Key Terms

    Acausality(as an apparent phenomenon in quantum physics)
    The idea that something happens without any cause making it happen.
    Copenhagen interpretation(as used in quantum mechanics philosophy)
    One of the main schools of thought about what quantum mechanics means; it suggests that particles don't have definite properties until we measure them, and that our act of measuring actually affects reality.
    Craig's Causal Principle(as a philosophical argument being tested)
    A philosophical rule argued by William Lane Craig stating that everything that begins to exist must have a cause for its existence.
    Measurement Limits(as an explanation for apparent randomness in quantum mechanics)
    The boundaries of what we can know or observe about something due to the tools and methods we use to measure it.

    Quantum Objections(as criticisms of philosophical principles)
    Problems or challenges to a philosophical idea that come from quantum mechanics, which shows that the tiniest particles don't always follow everyday rules of cause and effect.
    Viability(as used in discussing whether plant-based diets are realistic options in certain places)
    Whether something is actually possible or practical to do in a given situation.
