Today, in my physics class my teacher was talking about how we can never predict the outcome of a coin flip. So I thought: Will the outcome of a coin flip be the same if we do not change the initial conditions  ( suchsuch as launch angle, force position where force is applied,etc.)? Intuitively, I feel that the answer would be yes. But is there something related to quantum mechanics that may produce a different answer?

Flipping a coin with same initial conditions

Today, in my physics class my teacher was talking about how we can never predict the outcome of a coin flip. So I thought: Will the outcome of a coin flip be the same if we do not change the initial conditions( such as launch angle, force position where force is applied,etc.)?
