The Definition and Implications of Randomness
15:44 - 21:32 (05:48)
This podcast episode discusses the nature of randomness, particularly its importance in fluid mechanics, and how its presence or lack thereof can affect the validity of equations used in theories.

The goal is to prove that the center column doesn't repeat and to show the equidistribution of equal numbers of zeros and ones.

Summary
The goal is to prove that the center column doesn't repeat and to show the equidistribution of equal numbers of zeros and ones. This is similar to other deterministic processes like generating the digits of pi.

The equations of fluid mechanics may be flawed if they account for fluctuations at the level of the millionth digit of initial conditions.

Summary
The equations of fluid mechanics may be flawed if they account for fluctuations at the level of the millionth digit of initial conditions. Chaos theory further challenges determinism by showing how chaotic systems do not behave in predictable ways.

Summary
The possibility of our universe having fundamental randomness is an interesting question in natural science. It can be said that if there was extra randomness being thrown, it is not necessary to be there as enough is understood about fundamental physics
