Truly Random
How is it possible to create a true random number ?
By definition, a random number is something that cannot be predicted. Is the number that appears on a roulette wheel truly random ? I dont think so, because the number can be predicted based on the study of the wheel's mechanics.
When a random number is created in Excel, it's only random until we find the function that creates the number. Essentially, all random numbers we come across in daily life are pseudo-random.
For a number to be truly random, it has to be born without parents - It has to be created out of nothing, there should be nothing that allows you to track backwards towards the root. If true randomness exists, so does God, probably.
Hmmm.
