As a theoretical physicist, I judge the elegance and simplicity of a theory not by its ontology, but by the elegance and simplicity of its mathematical equations — and it's quite striking to me that
the mathematically simplest theories tend to give us multiverses.
Whitehead's theory not only agrees with Einstein's and with observations in these crucial cases, it is also
a mathematically simpler theory.

random is a
mathematically sound idea where as god is a
simple creation of some MAN from long ago to explain the unexplainable of the day... chaos
theory is quantum physics 101 and is also based solely on the notion of random events... not to mention quantum uncertainty which is one of my favorites.
This lines up
mathematically with the
theory of the representation of stationary gaussian random processes (which would be the
simplest thing to have — the climate will be worse), where you can reproduce the process probability-wise over a time span T with sines and cosines with largest spacing 1 / T.
