[quote=@Bishop] [@Fractured] "Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events." as seen from someone in the present facing such randomness as he doesn't know the future. But after knowing the future there is no randomness as you know everything and how it will end up. [/quote] You can predict anything with enough data; that's why science works at all. In computer science, we have to study why randomness is totally impossible in software and why we have to do our best to make our numbers act random, even if they're not (i.e. too many variables or uncontrollable variables to influence).
