[@AwTickStick]

@@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.

And there are no plans to downsize it." It's inhumane, those things are wallet busters.

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.

[@tonipopa]

@@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. Its like the video they made, its not a random script, its a predetermined script, it was written with the thought of randomness. So in short, what Einstein said, we, our thoughts, our actions, our decisions, our lifes are not random but predetermined and we are a part of someones plan. we act on someones plan without the free will we think we have. Hope this helped.

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.

[@prabbit237]

The stacking of the dice and showing one stack is higher than the other (probably) isn't due to inconsistent manufacturing tolerances but is really intentional. When you dig out a single divot on one side and six of them on the other, it messes with the center of gravity. So it makes sense that a die may be made slightly larger in one direction than another, and that the divots may not be exactly centered, so that the center of gravity is adjusted back to the physical center. The best way to test for that is to not just make one stack of 3s and another stack of 6s but to make two stacks of 2s with the divots all upper-left to lower-right (or top-to-bottom for the 6s.) If they both come out the same, try it again with 3s and then with 6s (no need to do 1, 4 and 5 as they have already been done face-down.) Then do the same with the divots going the other way. If all stacks are the same size, then you know the tolerances are very tight. But doing them with random orientations simply averages out the sizes, which is likely to wind up the same height, and using two different values for the "same number" stacks (unless it's a case of 1s and 6s, 2s and 5s or 3s and 4s and where the face-up and face-down are orientated the same way) may show the difference due to intentional slight variations in the size in each direction.

[@toddharig8142]

if i it was possible to somehow get a "dice" with infinite sides, would the results from throwing that dice not be mathematically random?

[@karolakkolo123]

Todd Hårig First, what was the last time you ever saw an infinity sided dice in the store? Second, the chance of rolling any number would be zero. It wouldn't be a number very close to zero. It would be completely zero. Even though every time you rolled a number a number would pop up, the chance would be zero.

[@toddharig8142]

First, it was clearly a hypothetical question. Second, that would be truly random wouldnt it? any possible outcome with no chance of happening, yet it still happens.

[@tashafellman]

That's called a sphere.

[@toddharig8142]

A sphere does not have infinite sides thoe.

[@toddharig8142]

An infinity dice would most likely be possible to do today in a computer. But then again i dont know jack about code so i might be wrong.

If you knew everything, and I mean every vector, abundance of mass, dark and normal energy, dark and common matter, and radiation, as well as every curve of spacetime and particle, for just one instance of time, could you perfectly predict every other past and future instance of time to the same specificity?

[@talijanac1]

Yes. You’d have an equation with no unkowns.

[@talijanac1]

And you would need a computer that we cant even think of

[@hey.mr.tsunami]

@@talijanac1 is that the case for quantum mechanics too? bc if so, then it still wouldn't really be random since it's predictable in a way, right?

[@talijanac1]

If he speakes about marcoscope observations I think you could predict everything, atleast to a certan point back in time.

[@khangle6872]

@@hey.mr.tsunami IF you could have every information possible, then yes. However, the very act of "having every information" is impossible. Not hard or very hard, but physically impossible. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle say that the more you know about the position of a particle, the less you know about its momentum, and vice versa. If you could know both the position and momentum of a particle, you could mathematically describe it, and subsequently predict everything about it. Unfortunately, it is physically impossible to know both

How can we be certain that the quantum particles are indeterminately random? Is there a chance something is shaping the outcome that we just aren’t aware of?

[@lukassmida4885]

Yes, or we are just living in the multiverse, each of made by probabilities of quantum states.

[@y37chung]

QM is not random as far as mathematical/philosophical definition goes. True random has no mathematically describable pattern. Measurement outcomes in quantum mechanics at least have statistical/probabilistic distributions that are reproducible and calculable. Even if they can't find an underlying exact cause (aka hidden variable), they can't rule out that the series of measurement outcomes itself affect itself (Yes, I know it sounds spooky, but how else would a definite probabilistic distribution emerge?). Too many pop-sci junkies parrot the nonsense that quantum mechanics is the "most", ""truest" random etc., when it is clearly not. (But randomness does exist on a spectrum, certain things are more random than others, it is not all or nothing)

KZbin comments. KZbin comments are random. Under a video about how to change oils to your car, someone comments that anyone who likes rock music is stupid, and 128 replies later people are swearing at each others' mothers over Donald Trump. (in Vsauce voice) THAT is random.

[@Gamesforus1]

Actually no it isn't. For you see your past experience's can determine how you got thoughts words to match up in this exact manner. Judging by the fact you said Donald Trump I can say that you are an American who watches alot of KZbin. A person in Madagascar couldn't of made that prediction because he might not know who Donald Trump is, He as a person also could not of written your comment. Your past experience's match up to the way you wrote that comment. And also how other people respond to that comment. Not so random anymore.
