Do quantum uncertainties differ in any essential way from the uncertainty in a coin flip, and why or why not?
A) You can make money with coin flips but you can't make a red cent out of quantum theory.
B) They don't differ in any essential way-- both uncertainties are "inherent in nature" and cannot be removed by additional information.
C) With sufficient information, a coin flip's outcome can be predicted, but no amount of information can remove quantum uncertainties.
D) With sufficient information, quantum uncertainties can be removed, but no amount of information can make a coin flip predictable.
E) They don't differ in any essential way-- both are a consequence of the observer's insufficient information and can be removed by obtaining additional information.
