We are familiar with random process. For example the result of tossing a coin is considered a random process. So rolling a dice. In this logical scheme, the realization of a random process is unpredictable. In the reality, if we could consider the initial conditions of the differential equations describing the motion of the coin or the dice we could forecast the result of the process. Is it possible to have a 'pure' random process or better an absolutely unpredictable random event? Obviously this would imply an effect without cause.
Could this involve logical contradictions?
Thanks.

Random process and predictability

In all the physical processes that I have encountered at work (and indeed, I have not ever done quantum physics and such), the randomness has just been a model that neatly encapsulates what could be found by integrating deterministic equations with infinite computational power and memory. As in the last paragraph of this answer.
