Fourier ontology and consequent quantum indeterminism and the way to overcome it shall be discussed. Furthermore it shall be proven that recent experimental technology goes far beyond the limits imposed by Heisenberg indetermination relations. These experiments are perfectly integrated in the new causal nonlinear quantum physics. Keywords: Orthodox quantum mechanics, Fourier ontology, Heisenberg indetermination relations, nonlinear quantum physics, general uncertainty relations, beyond Heisenberg limits.

Abstract Is the world deterministic and can we ever know whether it is or is not so? This chapter critically evaluates recent results that bear on these issues, and points out the relation to probabilities. While results from classical physics are neither fully relevant nor conclusive, quantum mechanics is often assumed to establish indeterminism beyond doubt. However, whether the quantum world is indeterministic crucially depends on how the measurement problem is solved. There are both deterministic and indeterministic contenders in this field, some of them empirically equivalent to another one. This is shown using the deterministic Bohm theory and Nelsonsion mechanics, which is indeterministic. Two arguments that purport to establish indeterminism and that rely on Gleason's theorem and on Conway and Kochen's recent Free Will Theorem are shown to be wanting.
