Nobody lives the same existence so any differences, especially over time, are products of those differences. Even identical twins in the same home don’t experience the same existence and aren’t the same person and make different choices.
I’d start with Uncertainty: Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, and the Struggle for the Soul of Science. You sound like you’ve probably read A Brief History of Time - but there are edits in later editions and we’ve learned more since Hawking’s death.
Then: Rethinking Causality in Quantum Mechanics. And: Nothing, put out by New Scientist in 2013 — pretty cool, but doesn’t really deal with causality. I just liked that one.
Anyway, you’re arguing in favor of a deterministic universe, but as far as I know with my (limited) understanding, that’s more of a philosophical question that can’t be proved or disproved. We lack the ability to track every particle to its origin, and the inverse is a negative — and you can’t prove something doesn’t happen, only it’s likelihood.
Yes. That’s why some people make different choices from people who are 99.99% biological matches who were raised in similar conditions.

I think you missed my point. The same conditions, even in physics, don’t always produce the same result.
Then they aren’t the same conditions.
Would you like to read a book? I could recommend several.
Go ahead, let’s see if I’ve already read them.
