I have recently read though the post WHat is random? I decided to start a new post concerning this subject when i realized that before this question can be asked another question must be answered.What is your working definition for the word "random"?If random is defined as activity that there is no known way to have been predicted than of course there is randomness in the universe. If people could find a way to predict the activity of the balls that generate the winning digits in the Lottery than the chances of winning would be greater then the one in the million odds that now exist.However there is another defintion for the word random that people use which suggests strongly that there is no random activty. This definition of the word has no relation to the human mind's potential for prediction.
