Does True Randomness Actually Exist? ( ^&*#^%$&#% )

ah thankyou. hasn't everything gone quiet though. Do you think maybe a random quark or atom might come by and say something?

Or is relativity beautiful?

Only relative velocities are detectable or play any role in physics. Other than some minor vibration, if you are in a plane moving at a fixed speed it is much like being on the ground. By contrast, if you are accelerating or decelerating hard, this pushes you back or forward in a detectable way.

The fact that acceleration is not relative is interesting. Intuitively this is so familiar we take it for granted: we are constantly being accelerated upwards and can feel that (or measure it with a bathroom scales), but just think of it as a constant. We know that this involves a vertical force on the lowest part of us which is propagated up through our bodies as a pressure that prevents any part of us dropping ballistically towards the centre of the Earth. Such a path would be free fall - i.e. with no absolute acceleration. We are so used to being on the ground that free fall - zero acceleration - seems more special.

I'm glad you guys are finally talking 'bout something that they teach us in high school-- Velocity & Acceleration. This will be easier to construe, haha.

No no, velocity IS relative.

Why have you posted that?

It's a bit random.

Lol no one could play you with a board like that

Seems to be the point 🛎

Just thought of a thesis for the psych student- “Understanding the Beliefs in Randomness “.

“Understanding the Beliefs in Randomness “ lol. that should pinch a nerve or two..

"Time to unravel this mystery of true randomness." not so sure about this one. maybe start with matterialism? ..because thats where TR lives

I think a belief that true randomness exists begins with our core beliefs. Some may try to convince us otherwise. They’ll claim (as example) that After observing the behavior of radio active decay- the conclusion is made- it exists.

But not the case. 1st is the core belief that TR exists and Then is it concluded the behavior is random.

For many this has its roots in beliefs of creation. Things become interpreted as determined or not. A misleading and dead end approach. But for many others not so invested the question of TR perhaps has its roots in the ways our minds work.

Seemingly random thoughts enter our minds at random times. We make best effort to be in control- to direct and focus our thoughts. But what of that tune that pops into mind or that memory of 20 years past? Perhaps the universe behaves similarly? 
If TR exists- it’s not for any of the reasons thus far given.

I bet I could take all your pieces and that would count as a stalemate!

It’s about time for the OP to block these trolls who do nothing but post video links and talk trash. 

Guaranteed to elicit more of same.
