@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.

@nikolal
I think we are saying the same thing. Not having a way to predict yet is the same as not having the computing power to crack a key to a pseudorandom number generator. So "random as of yet" is the same as pseudorandom.
@Wetrix
Lol we took this way deeper than you wanted it to. But I'd say it is impossible to know your destiny so you can't declare it, but it does exist.

@mistermonster @georgia @nikolal just a little 🤣
But I'm ok with that and like it!
It's better than having a Beavis and Butthead conversation about it.
Also it shows the quality of intellectuals we have in here!
