Born in the wrong era....episode 2

The mad hatter is back....this time with an argument. This is a logical argument to prove that it is not possible to create a function which generates random numbers...ever!!!

So, let us start off by assuming that we do have a function which generates random numbers. Now, given our obsession with computers, let us implement the damn thing using whatever programming language we want.

let us say we first generate some number using a generate button which activates the function.

now consider two cases: the number generated after the button is hit at time t, and the number generated after the button is hit at time t+t'

will the two numbers be the same?

If the answer is no, then it would seem that the function is dependent on time, which makes it non random.

if the answer is yes, then the function is predictable and hence it is non random.

so there you go...my argument as to why a random function cannot be generated.

but is there something called as dependant and independent random functions? if yes, then my argument holds good for a dependent random function
