NuclearVision wroteHello guys, just got free to reply!
Yes it turned out to be an interesting topic.
Thanks everyone for sharing their opinion.
I have a few comments however.
For the computer thing, yeah its easy to replicate pseudo-random outputs.
But in real life? I was really trying hard to find a concrete example about a randomness in life with no luck, again.
For some reqson i believe randomness exist in real life. But i can't seem to find it.
I tried searching online, for instance wiki refers to randomness as the slight (physical(?)) difference between events, and pseudorandomness as an extreme difference.
So a question i stumbled upon is, what decides those intial (physical) conditions? Other primitive conditions? Or randomness itself?
Randomness doesn't exist anywhere, never did, and never will.
I usually take John Conway's
Game of Life as an example, no matter how many times you put the particles, as long as they're the in the same order, they're going to give you the same result infinitely.
It's just a chain of things creating our fake-random feeling, so many things that differs to each other, yet they are all linked in somewhat one that which is existence. (I do not believe in existence nor reality, yet let's not jump out of topic)
What I'm saying here is not subjective, rather my vast opinion, don't take me wrong guys. Life itself is the fruit of a mathematical procedure, where if you happen to recreate it at a smaller scale (even though you absolutely cannot) starting with the same root or seed, I'm going to see myself in the exact same thing I'm doing here, writing this post.
Since we're only humans, we cannot understand how randomness can ever work without implying psychological theories onto that (as I've given in my last example, you saw 4 ducks when you were little...).
Every cloud, drop of water, rock, cell, star and grain of sand you find on the beach was there after following a certain road, nothing "randomly" happened which has made it go in that certain position.
What is happening here is that our brain is simulating its randomness out of these consequences of events since it cannot think of what is happening in every atom, therefore, if we had our ability to use our brain to 100% of its capacity, you can realize that you can no longer come up with any random number without even remembering a certain procedure you've came through in the past.
I also want to pass by the fact, which may offend certain extremist or religious people, but scientifically speaking, your mind is physical. You're not free as you think you are, you're not thinking in any "random" way. All your memories are stored in your brain, it's like when you hit your head on something, you'd lose that certain memory, or possibly get Amnesia. This would be the first thing you can relate that everything you're doing now, seeing, or even thinking of, which I said before, following a certain path. (I wouldn't be surprised if in the future scientists would be able to ingrain memories into anyone's mind with simple surgery, as complex the connections in the human brain is). Concluding from the last paragraph, your memory has a physical reality, and everything with a physical reality, as I said before, did not "randomly" happen.
I'm just theorizing here, this is quite a good topic of discussion which I am glad to have someone willing to dissect its principles with me, and I hope that this post helped opening eyes on our current world.
