Randomness - Ascor - 02-07-2010

I was just taking a Shower as i got an interesting thought.
I'll share it with you and i'll hope you'll give your opinion on it.
What is randomness?
How does our Brain and our Body generates randomness?
Is randomness related to what we like and what not?
Ex: We like the Number 6 or we just bought 6 eggs. Now we are asked to give someone a random Number. Will we say 6?
How does a Computer generate randomness (this isn't philosophical it's just i don't know)
Can there be true randomness?

Hope you'll answer

*pop*
really, it's just your mind coming up with thoughts/ideas (whether new/old/combinations of a few)

Hmm...
Interesting point but i guess it wasn't random.
I guess you thought of something you could write here to simbolize that there can be true randomness.

Describe 'randomness'.

To me, there is no true 'random'.
Unexpected events happen all the time, but can we conclude that that is the definition of random?

If so, was 9/11 random?


RE: Randomness - Ascor - 02-07-2010

It wasn't random.
Someone planed it.


RE: Randomness - Bamboori - 02-07-2010

a real good question.
i think there can't be real randomness unless you don't think at all. if you get asked to say a random word you always say something related to what you think. if you flip a coin, you could theoretically calculate the side.

Eh, there is NOTHING like true randomness at all... as we define it, that is.

If there are random actions or events, they are ALL (without exceptions) based on chains of past reactions which (mostly) are much too difficult and precise for us to calculate.

If it wasn't hard, we could calculate the future. Easy as that.

>Bamboori - You are right about word, but what about number or just move?


RE: Randomness - Magnamancy - 02-08-2010

Ramond's got it, and we define those things that are too hard for us to
calculate/predict as random to save time explaining them.

On the other hand, Azriel might be onto something. :D

random is something to annoy the above user(s) above about
no names though
