| Dec 18, 2012 at 3:14 | comment | added | mattnz | @Dynamic: It is actually trivial to get a sequence indistinguishable from truly random data, as long as you look to the outside world with hardware support. Atomic and Subatomic physics, (Atomic decay, photon hitting sensors type events) is (to the extend of current science theory) truly random and easy to measure. Thermodynamics on a large scale is so chaotic that we can consider it random when we inspect at the macro system on the the micro scale etc. Noise from a digital camera sensor is a good example..... | |

| Dec 17, 2012 at 22:52 | comment | added | Asgard | @Dynamic I think the same think, however I have always invoked random function when needed, but I haven't idea of how a random method should be implemented. | |
| Dec 17, 2012 at 22:49 | comment | added | Dynamic | I'd venture to say that true randomness is not presently possible. | |
