Hidden-variable theory
Israeli physicist named Yakir Aharonov basically agreed with Einstein about God not playing dice, and he proposed that the future is the hidden variable underlying quantum strangeness. Individual particles, such as those photons passing through the slits of the double-slit experiment, are actually influenced by what will happen to them next (i.e.,

Aharonov and his colleague Jeff Tollaksen write that time-symmetric reformulations of quantum mechanics change the meaning of uncertainty from ‘capriciousness’ to exactly what is needed in order that the future can be relevant to the present, without violating causality, thereby providing a new perspective on the question ‘Why does God play dice?’

Quantum theory is, as I have said, one such theory. But the other three main strands of explanation through which we seek to understand the fabric of reality are all ‘high level’ from the point of view of quantum physics. They are the theory of evolution (primarily the evolution of living organisms), epistemology (the theory of knowledge) and the t
