A dice has 6 sides, so when you throw it, you are causing one of six sides to show up.
If you were skilled enough, and you could throw the dice with the same angle, the same velocity, the same spin, the same height and when it left your hand have it in the exact same position.....you would find it to show the same resut many more times.
When you thr is first cause (for the science person) if they continue to remain in the dark about that.
you misunderstand here I think because you are confusing pseudo-random events (such as dice throws which are difficult to predict but not truly random) with real-random events (such as quantum events according to the most common interpretation of them but note I am not claiming that interpretation is correct).
I assume twhitehead was talking about the latter and not the the former?
