In the field of quantum mechanics there are good reasons to think that 
the randomness is inherent, and that it is not lack of knowledge that 
prevents us from knowing what will happen and when.

That is, there is no underlying process about which we could in 
principle have knowledge, and thereby be able to look behind the randomness.

Since quantum randomness affects the world we perceive, that means that 
at least some of the randomness we see in the world is not just a matter 
of ignorance.
