Random is something unexpected, but once you sent boundaries or perimeters, it's no longer random in the true sense, but it is still perhaps unexpected values.

@@marcogiordano9359 it means that quantom particles aren't predetermined, there's nothing you can measure to predict how a quantum particle will behave, you can only know once you look its like god left quantum particles with free will to choose how they behave and not be restrained by anything
@@marcogiordano9359 Actually what it means is that when god created the universe, he didn't create it at random, he had a plan and knew what went where. Everything has an order and everything has a meaning, we and our futures are predetermined, we are a part of the plan, every event that has happened or will happen, was already pre written by god, it means we dont have a free will, but act based on what was written. Michael also made a mistake, Einstein said that "god didn't play dice", not "god played dice". When you play dice, the outcome is random, when you dont play dice it means you dont play random but rather have a plan.

Another 50c fact: the original 50c coins in 1966 were round and 80% silver. They're worth a lot more than 50c each now because they each contain about a third of an ounce of silver. They're still legal tender but rarely show up in circulation unless an old lady finds a jar of them in a closet or something.

If we are all completely random then how do parallel universes fit into it? Or is every different universe really just fitted into a dice of all possibilities?
@@sebtaylor6414 hey iknow its been nearly a year since you have commented but if you are still wondering there are much cleaner ways to explain quantum randomness than other universes I would recommend looking at the wave function collapse hypothesis
@@sebtaylor6414That is the multiple universe interpretation. Where every single time a proverbial dice is thrown. Another universe is created where it landed on another face. So every single time an particle is observed or collapses into 1 probability, then a bunch of other universes are created where the probability collapsed differently. Meaning all probability’s happen at once but in different universes we will never have access to. For example in schrodinger’s cat. The cat may die in our universe, but in another universe the cat is alive.
Thanks for making this! I am one of those people who is annoyed by the misuse and misunderstanding of this word and how we interpret the world around us :-)
All the dice randomness reminded me of Gravity Falls, "The Infinity Sided Die". Even though the possibilities are endless, "You'd be surprised to see how many times you roll a seven"
Correct , plus , you would need a microscope to observe the result , and it would have to be infinitely big to hold all number even if each one was written on a single atom and it's randomness would be destroyed after just one roll .
Vsauce is very weird, since you can't just skip to the end to know an answer. All the tangents combine to create a more understandable theory/idea so you can't really skip to the end without knowing it all. Kudos to you, Vsauce.
Jason Montly Does good and evil truly exist outside of ourselves the same can go law and order, Do all those things exist outside of are preception of the world?
John Hickens no, good and evil is simply relative and law and order is a fabrication of primitive humans who refuse to admit that they have no idea what they're doing. We're all just children running around aimlessly and that scares us. This is also the origin if the belief if God and the need for celebrities and government. We believe that there is always a higher power, and in doing so handicap our true potential. At least that's my opinion.

***** The results of which are determined by the movement of gluon particles. Which if we could track we could guess the results. Much like the coin, we just can't see what effects the result; Yet.
Yeah the whole thing with Quantum Particles when you observe them they'll be in state A,B,C,D... and there aren't any factors (none that anyone has found) contributing to the resulting state. Which is why Quantum Particle States are considered Truly Random
BlankKnight But this is still something were are learning more and more about. We can't say just because we don't understand it fully that there is a conclusive answer until then. It may be "random" for now to some extent, but that is not because we fully understand it but just the opposite.
1:27 From a computer science point, you can’t know everything. If you had a table of every question with every answer, it would answer the halting problem, which is mathematically impossible. The table would be inconsistent, meaning you couldn’t know everything without contradictions being valid truth values.
I have bad news. You must have crossed the event horizon of science. There's no way out. You now inevitably race towards the singularity - a point in space and time in which you'd possess the complete knowledge of life, universe and everything. But don't worry - you'll reach that point only after infinite time, so your journey will last forever.
This is a fantastic video. I am very impressed with the delivery and background research, but I have come to expect that kind of quality from you, Mike. Thanks for creating!
***** I was just saying that when Micheal quoted Einstein with 'God is rolling dice with the universe' would cause lots of flame wars. Luckily it didn't. I've seen many Christian/atheist flame wars because a few words in one video, and that Einstein quote didn't cause any.
So when does the first quantum casino open? Funnily, it will never happen, because the key factor to a successful casino is that its games aren't random.
JustusLM The key is to have the odds in your favor, but still be as random as you can possibly be to remain fair. Basically, design the game in such a way where the odds are very slightly in your favor, and where each turn is completely random, so that there's no way to predict the results.
Fuck Politics Yea, but if you hit 21, the possible payout is also huge. It nearly balances out. It's all about the value of the bet. Consider betting on black or red. If you lose, the house gets your money and if you win, you get the amount you bet from the house. Seems fair, right? A 50/50 bet where should either one lose, they lose the same amount of money. Should be completely random as to who ends up with the most money, right? But the thing is, there's the green. It's neither black nor red, so if I bet on black, I actually only have a bit less than a 50/50 chance to win. This slight tilt in the odds is what statistically guarantees that the house will always win in the long run, as the odds are ever so slightly in their favor.
I last watched this video when I was in secondary school and I was mind blown! I am taking Information and Coding Theory classes and it all makes so much sense :) Can't thank you enough for making these amazing videos
In Indian history their is a very long and wide story (which contains many events in it one by one and also many parallel that's why wide) named 'Mahabharat' also referred as 'Bharat'. just like the machine said in this video that can flip a coin and also roll a die in an exact way to give output as number intended, their is a man in this story. Much before the great war between Kauravs and Pandavs began, there was a 'dyut' (game of dies) between them. In this game on the Kaurav's side this man named 'Shakunee' was rolling dies for them. by listening to the rattling sounds of the two dies he could determine the number of the upcoming roll. and also he could decide the number that was to be shown on the dies. so as the need of the game he could generate the number on the die and so always won the game.
I miss these types of videos. I’m not upset Michael and Vsauce is making a different type of content now, but these just feel different and I love them so much.
"what even are words? And more importantly, who's to say they're the first? What *is* the first? Of what?" Goes on to theorize the start of the universe, prophesies, reincarnation, and explain the meaning and purpose of words in great linguistic detail
Michael: Randomly appears in UA-cam recommendations and randomly starts talking about randomness, while sitting on a bench with the most random thing written on it (4:00). Also Michael: Nothing is random. ... Or is it?
I had a long conversation with someone that doesn't solve a Rubik's Cube (I'm a cuber). He argued that if he were to 'randomly' turn faces he would eventually solve it. I argued that once he saw pieces going into place it's no longer random. Because he would SEE it's not random anymore. I calculated (somewhat calculated) with other cubers that it would take on average 176 billion years at a rate of 5 turns per second (that's fast) for a person to randomly turn a Rubik's Cube into a solved state. That is if the person turning the layers is blindfolded and another person watches then stops him/her from turning when it is solved. The average is 176 billion years... but it could take anywhere from 2 seconds to not infinitely long.
Its like the infinite monkey theorem, typewriting a Shakespeare play - every key press, or state, is as random as the previous state and even if the monkeys is character away from the complete play, one wrong key press will just ruin all that hard work
"He argued that if he were to 'randomly' turn faces he would eventually solve it." Well, that's not wrong. If what he saw didn't affect his decisions of which faces to turn, meaning STAYING random, then he's gonna eventually solve it.

I love that he said the Australian 50 cent coin is one of the largest coins in circulation as if it was going to lead someone and it just didn’t
Another 50c fact: the original 50c coins in 1966 were round and 80% silver. They're worth a lot more than 50c each now because they each contain about a third of an ounce of silver. They're still legal tender but rarely show up in circulation unless an old lady finds a jar of them in a closet or something.

If we are all completely random then how do parallel universes fit into it? Or is every different universe really just fitted into a dice of all possibilities?
@@sebtaylor6414 we arent random
@@RaulxzWhy?
@@sebtaylor6414 hey iknow its been nearly a year since you have commented but if you are still wondering there are much cleaner ways to explain quantum randomness than other universes I would recommend looking at the wave function collapse hypothesis
@@sebtaylor6414That is the multiple universe interpretation. Where every single time a proverbial dice is thrown. Another universe is created where it landed on another face. So every single time an particle is observed or collapses into 1 probability, then a bunch of other universes are created where the probability collapsed differently. Meaning all probability’s happen at once but in different universes we will never have access to.
For example in schrodinger’s cat. The cat may die in our universe, but in another universe the cat is alive.

Correct , plus , you would need a microscope to observe the result , and it would have to be infinitely big to hold all number even if each one was written on a single atom and it's randomness would be destroyed after just one roll .

John Hickens no, good and evil is simply relative and law and order is a fabrication of primitive humans who refuse to admit that they have no idea what they're doing. We're all just children running around aimlessly and that scares us. This is also the origin if the belief if God and the need for celebrities and government. We believe that there is always a higher power, and in doing so handicap our true potential. At least that's my opinion.

Yeah the whole thing with Quantum Particles when you observe them they'll be in state A,B,C,D... and there aren't any factors (none that anyone has found) contributing to the resulting state.
Which is why Quantum Particle States are considered Truly Random
BlankKnight
But this is still something were are learning more and more about. We can't say just because we don't understand it fully that there is a conclusive answer until then.
It may be "random" for now to some extent, but that is not because we fully understand it but just the opposite.
GET OUT OFMY HEAD! **shoots self**
If you look at Aristotlean Philosphy, you would know that we know nothing. Therfore I did not know that
1:27 From a computer science point, you can’t know everything. If you had a table of every question with every answer, it would answer the halting problem, which is mathematically impossible. The table would be inconsistent, meaning you couldn’t know everything without contradictions being valid truth values.

I have bad news. You must have crossed the event horizon of science. There's no way out. You now inevitably race towards the singularity - a point in space and time in which you'd possess the complete knowledge of life, universe and everything. But don't worry - you'll reach that point only after infinite time, so your journey will last forever.

So when does the first quantum casino open?
Funnily, it will never happen, because the key factor to a successful casino is that its games aren't random.
A company makes Quantum random number generators used for gambling. ID Quantique, based in Switzerland. They cost up to €2,990. :)
JustusLM The key is to have the odds in your favor, but still be as random as you can possibly be to remain fair. Basically, design the game in such a way where the odds are very slightly in your favor, and where each turn is completely random, so that there's no way to predict the results.
Hyde slightly or mostly? Striking 21 is very improbable.
Fuck Politics Yea, but if you hit 21, the possible payout is also huge. It nearly balances out. It's all about the value of the bet.
Consider betting on black or red. If you lose, the house gets your money and if you win, you get the amount you bet from the house. Seems fair, right? A 50/50 bet where should either one lose, they lose the same amount of money. Should be completely random as to who ends up with the most money, right?
But the thing is, there's the green. It's neither black nor red, so if I bet on black, I actually only have a bit less than a 50/50 chance to win.
This slight tilt in the odds is what statistically guarantees that the house will always win in the long run, as the odds are ever so slightly in their favor.
Hyde the "possible payout" is still less than the actual payout. Casinos are genius business models that thrive on taking stupid drunk people's money.
I last watched this video when I was in secondary school and I was mind blown! I am taking Information and Coding Theory classes and it all makes so much sense :)
Can't thank you enough for making these amazing videos
In Indian history their is a very long and wide story (which contains many events in it one by one and also many parallel that's why wide) named 'Mahabharat' also referred as 'Bharat'. just like the machine said in this video that can flip a coin and also roll a die in an exact way to give output as number intended, their is a man in this story. Much before the great war between Kauravs and Pandavs began, there was a 'dyut' (game of dies) between them. In this game on the Kaurav's side this man named 'Shakunee' was rolling dies for them. by listening to the rattling sounds of the two dies he could determine the number of the upcoming roll. and also he could decide the number that was to be shown on the dies. so as the need of the game he could generate the number on the die and so always won the game.
I miss these types of videos. I’m not upset Michael and Vsauce is making a different type of content now, but these just feel different and I love them so much.

Also Michael: Nothing is random.
... Or is it?
I had a long conversation with someone that doesn't solve a Rubik's Cube (I'm a cuber). He argued that if he were to 'randomly' turn faces he would eventually solve it. I argued that once he saw pieces going into place it's no longer random. Because he would SEE it's not random anymore.
I calculated (somewhat calculated) with other cubers that it would take on average 176 billion years at a rate of 5 turns per second (that's fast) for a person to randomly turn a Rubik's Cube into a solved state. That is if the person turning the layers is blindfolded and another person watches then stops him/her from turning when it is solved.
The average is 176 billion years... but it could take anywhere from 2 seconds to not infinitely long.
Its like the infinite monkey theorem, typewriting a Shakespeare play - every key press, or state, is as random as the previous state and even if the monkeys is character away from the complete play, one wrong key press will just ruin all that hard work
"He argued that if he were to 'randomly' turn faces he would eventually solve it."
Well, that's not wrong. If what he saw didn't affect his decisions of which faces to turn, meaning STAYING random, then he's gonna eventually solve it.
