I think... That in our universe - what we perceive as reality, there is no such thing as random. It is hard for us to even grasp the concept of it. Something happening - but for no reason? How is that possible? If a coin lands heads or tails, we can basically say that that happend because of how high or fast you tossed it, but if the outcome was random... Not influenced by anything, it just, happend then that is strange. That is why I was interested in radioactive decay, how can it be random, when an atom expells a neutron (or whatever other crazy shoot that comes out of those things) it must be for some reason - why it was particularly at that time when it gave off radiation. Perhaps there is such a thing as random - however it seems to me that our understanding of the universe we live in is very limited and we know nothing of the concepts that could be outside of our world. When I try to think of it deeper, my head hurts .

Correct me if I'm wrong but chaos theory is pretty much what I've been talking about? How the apparently smallest, most insignificant event years in the past, hundreds of miles away can cause massive dissasters or whatever.

To think... This whole discussion would never have taken place if it wern't for me taking a few to many hits from my pipe .
