It’s one thing that a mathemetician would focus on issues of order in the universe. But his science can’t even replicate disorder— there is no such thing as a truly random number generator that doesn’t take as input some naturally random quantity. Until science can explain randomness, what hope is there that it can explain order?

Until science can explain randomness

An interesting thing, randomness. No one can look at something fresh and say "it's random". You can't really know. For example, is the number 53304 random?

To you maybe. To me is a direct representation of something.

If a scientist looks at the locations of some particles and says, "it's a random set" he can't really know, he may only say, "if there is some reason for this set, I don't know it."
