Do quantum uncertainties differ in any essential way from the uncertainty in a coin flip, and why or why not?
 
  A) With sufficient information, a coin flip's outcome can be predicted, but no amount of information can remove quantum uncertainties.
  B) You can make money with coin flips but you can't make a red cent out of quantum theory.
  C) They don't differ in any essential way--both uncertainties are inherent in nature and cannot be removed by additional information.
  D) With sufficient information, quantum uncertainties can be removed, but no amount of information can make a coin flip predictable.
  E) They don't differ in any essential way--both are a consequence of the observer's insufficient information and can be removed by obtaining additional information.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
