Random Number Sequences- Do they really exist ?
Well, the big question is - is it possible to create a truly random sequence of numbers ?
I was thinking on these lines -
- Generation can be either done synthetically (human created algorithm) or by observing a certain parameter of a naturally occuring event. I believe that all human attempts are unlikely to be truly random creations as there shall always be a mathematical logic behind it, which shall always give predictable sequence.
- The queer part is that, if we believe that eventually science (which always has a mathematical formulation) can explain all natural phenomenon, then we cannot get a sequence of random numbers from nature. (if (1) above is true!)
What do you think ?
