I don't know of anything, aside from God, that is uncaused.

A number of quantum events are uncaused. Radioactive decay of the nucleus is uncaused.

Absolutely uncaused, or "according to the standard model, it's uncaused" or "it may end up having a cause someday, but we sure don't know now!"

Full Disclosure: I thought certain types of nuclear decay were caused by a 1s electron impinging on the nucleus?

Cheers!
