["Unpredictablity of the quantum world" and logical catastrophe].
The fundamental gnoseological question that is always present in a basic science is: Can this science adequately predict the future? In classical mechanics, we deal in many cases with dynamic chaos; therefore, this prediction is most often impossible. In the quantum theory, the dynamic chaos associated with the disturbances of initial conditions is formally absent. Nevertheless, as it was shown in this work, there are other reasons that directly relate to what is called the paradoxes of formal logic, which, in the case of quantum theory, too, do not enable one to precisely determine what will happen in the future.
