A Random Comment

[Yukiko]

Reading through a lot of these post it seems too many do not understand the difference between perceived randomness and true randomness. Perceived randomness is more of a random that isn't random at all and is easily predictable with pattern cropping up a lot in a series. True randomness is just that, what CAN happen.
The easiest way to point out the difference is using the coin flipping method. In a series of 100 flips, perceived randomness would believe that flipping 5 heads or tails in a row is not possible where in fact it has the same odds of any other pattern of 5 flips.
I don't fault anyone for not understanding the difference between the two since to get a decent grasp of true randomness you have to have some knowledge in mathematics and physics.
Veritasium and Vesauce both have videos on Randomness that might make you think if you wanna know worldly randomness. Veritasium's not random Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMb0...RG1u-2MsSQLbXA and Vsauce's What is random video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rIy...ature=youtu.be. Take a look at these they will make you think twice on what is really "random"

*thumbs up*
But a bit more deeper in programming would have been better...
