When a human egg cell is fertilised to form a zygote is it possible for the zygote to be divided into two separate embryos by an unpredictable quantum event such as a cosmic ray resulting in the formation of identical twins? |

"unpredictable"? By definition, quantum events are always only predictable statistically so they are all unpredictable in any real-world sense. A cosmic ray is not necessary to trigger such an event. Some twins are almost certainly created by quantum events which may be entirely internal or may be triggered by external forces such as a cosmit ray, although many more are probably caused by some biochemical reaction operating far above the quantum level. |

Monozygotic twins occur Whether that is down to a cosmic ray or food additives, is a moot point. |
