Just to verify with everyone, Brownian motion isn't random is it? Merely classed as random due to human ignorance and its unpredictability.

I would say it's too complex to be predictable => random.

I'm pretty sure this is really a fundamental question that we don't know. When you get down to the quantum level, things become incredibly random and we have a fair bit of math to show that reality isn't based upon determinism and that our reality is really a random one. But math is just math, it's just the best model we have of reality really and for all we know we may find that things follow a pattern afterall.

It is fully predictable if you had enough calculating power. But you would need more the calculating power that the universe, which is impossible

So, no. It isn't random. Can anyone just give me a yes?

OpenStudy (kainui):

@Tasp Trying to force a yes out of someone doesn't change the fact that this is a question without a known answer.
