One of the key concepts in quantum theory is “noncausal.” This term means that quantum events are not causal and intrinsically unpredictable (De Quincey, 2002). This concept refutes the idea of determinism which insists that every event is a cause-and-effect relationship. Of course, this deterministic idea made a numerous contribution to the modern psychics, but it includes an inherent limitation. For instance, the deterministic view couldn’t elucidate the logical connection between one event and another in a certain random event (e.g., weather). Although quantum theory also can’t illuminate the mechanism of a certain random event, it has a value in that it forces us to investigate the view of traditional paradigms (materialism, determinism, etc.).
