Randomness, and its omnipresence in everyday life
What is randomness? Everyone has experienced randomness in many different situations in life. This could be when playing a board game, looking at radioactive isotopes, or tossing a coin. Random events occur all of the time whether we notice them or not and influence the outcomes of nearly everything we do. Some "random" events can be predicted if you know enough details.
