@Shire! you should switch to push to talk

@Shire! you're still blinking

@Unironic Ohio Supremecist you are cuttinig out

I posted that vid to show why 'racism' exists...we as humans are a much later development of life than ants,,,and they never figured it out over several hundred million years

Radioactive decay is NOT random,,,it can be and IS demonstrated to occur within the concept of PROBABILITY,,,NOT RANDOMNESS

See "The Feynman Lectures"

@WisdomVendor interesting... probability is not randomness? I'll look into it

pure randomness has equal probability of all outcomes at any time...radioactive decay does not

fair engouh

damn it

I'm a software engineer

I like to believe in true random

but probably shouldn't

then you know as well as anyone that real randomness does not come from any physical system

slit experiment

in fact,,I think this is why true A.I. will never exist...as it would require true randomness

but... slit experiment

have a pool game to play,,BRB

Is there any such thing as randomness in nature then?

BRB,,,will cont this convo

There is one history, there are one or many futures, depending on what you believe

asked for friend request

Alternatively, there is one present, multiple histories and futures

I would say the former, in my opinion. Unless by histories you mean interpretations of the events themselves

OK, but, if you could take a snapshot of every constituent element of the universe, what's to say that there aren't multiple previous snapshots that could have lead to that configuration?

Well I suppose that depends on your view of time, i.e. linearity or a sort of ever-present existence

there are many ways in which now could have been now

but one might say there's only 1 way that is was

depends on whether you buy into continuity

*it was

exactly

is there only one present, in your estimation?

I like to entertain the idea that there is only one present, but any number of pasts or futures
