Well, at least on the information side of things, Wolfram says you might be able to beat the house.

There is an easy test, shuffle a deck of cards, and let me know when you shuffle them back into new deck order.

Information Theory, (all the rage in scientific circles in the 70's,) showed that information can not result from randomness. Chaos theory, (all the rage of the 80's and early 90's,) showed that true randomness does not exist. There is a pattern in scientific study, once a theory is shown to give a wrong answer it is quickly discarded. ; )

"Chaos theory, (all the rage of the 80's and early 90's,) showed that true randomness does not exist."

I was under the impression that Chaos Theory said simply that you naturally gain more order in your system as you lose useful energy.

Information Theory, (all the rage in scientific circles in the 70's,) showed that information can not result from randomness. Chaos theory, (all the rage of the 80's and early 90's,) showed that true randomness does not exist.

Both of the above are false. Information theory shows that randomness generats the maximum amount of information. Chaos theory shows that deterministic systems are not necessarily predictable.
