This book addresses the physical phenomenon of events that seem to occur spontaneously and without any known cause. These are to be contrasted with events that happen in a (pre-)determined, predictable, lawful, and causal way. All our knowledge is based on self-reflexive theorizing, as well as on operational means of empirical perception. Some of the questions that arise are the following: are these limitations reflected by our models? Under what circumstances does chance kick in? Is chance in physics merely epistemic? In other words, do we simply not know enough, or use too crude levels of description for our predictions? Or are certain events "truly", that is, irreducibly, random? The book tries to answer some of these questions by introducing intrinsic, embedded observers and provable unknowns; that is, observables and procedures which are certified (relative to the assumptions) to be unknowable or undoable. A (somewhat iconoclastic) review of quantum mechanics is presented which is inspired by quantum logic. Postulated quantum (un-)knowables are reviewed. More exotic unknowns originate in the assumption of classical continua, and in finite automata and generalized urn models, which mimic complementarity and yet maintain value definiteness. Traditional conceptions of free will, miracles and dualistic interfaces are based on gaps in an otherwise deterministic universe. . 410 0$aFundamental Theories of Physics,$x0168-1222 ;$v192 606 $aPhysics 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aEpistemology 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 606 $aEpistemology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 610 $aSelf-reflexive knowledge 610 $aPhysical chaos 610 $aPhysical random number generators 610 $aIrreducible randomness 610 $aRandomness in physics 610 $aPhysical indeterminism 610 $aAcausality in physics 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aEpistemology. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 14$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aEpistemology. 615 24$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a530.01 700 $aSvozil$b Karl$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0907106 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910293141303321 996 $aPhysical (A)Causality$92029172 997 $aUNINA
