@georgia @Wetrix @nikolal exactly, the only thing that makes something impossible to predict is that you do not know something about it's initial state. This is how pseudorandom number generators work, they derive a key from entropy and use the key to generate numbers. As long as the key is kept secret the resulting numbers cannot be predicted.

@mistermonster
My point is that if we as humans don't have way to see some pattern in event (e.g light and photons) those events are random to us so far, at least for me. For pseudo random numbers there is way known to humanity, that is either you have private key or have some extraordinary computational power to crack prime number that connects public and private key. I agree with you, just adding my view of random, and that is "yet" and "so far" if you understand me.

I'll have to get back into this when I'm not tired 😅
