We talk about random shuffles, how many passes it takes, and about VP machines based on random shuffles, and on the possibility fre different things occurring in a random sample, etc., yet is there even such a thing as randomness in the real world? Can randomness be proven to even exist? And if there is no randomness in the universe, does that lead to a deterministic outlook, the possibility that the "fix" is in (on a cosmic scale)? :laugh: If there is no randomness, can you be sure you really have the chance you think you have? Is there randomness for all practical purposes? How do you know?
