What is a Random Event?
Does such a thing exist? • Tali • The Psychic Test What is Probability? The class response: Modern Probability The modern theory of probability began with the work of Gerolamo Cardano in the sixteenth century. He was an avid gambler and began to look for a mathematical model that would describe the outcome of a random event. Eventually, he gave what is called the classic definition of probability. Some historians rather date the birth of modern probability theory to a set of five letters between Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal during the summer of 1654. The correspondence was prompted when Pascal’s friend, Mssr.Chevalier de Mere, posed Pascal the problem of figuring out which is more likely, rolling at least one six in four throws of a single die, or rolling at least one double six in 24 rolls of a pair of dice? T he problem of assigning probabilities to events… T he problem of finding an axiomatic approach to probability…Hilbert in 1900. Andrei Kolmogorov’s monograph on probabi
Einstein was undoubtedly a great scientist but he was human and fallible. For one, he disliked quantum theory and never accepted it, probably because he did not understand it. “God does not play dice with the Universe” is one of the famous quotes attributed to him. Today, quantum mechanics is one of the pillars of the scientific understanding of reality. Unlike Einstein and quite to the contrary of what he felt, many scientists, such as John C. Polkinghorne, see no contradiction in the belief in God, on one hand, and, on the other, evidence of a non deterministic, open universe. Polkinhorne, who served for 25 years as Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge and was named a Fellow of the Royal Society, even believed in a God who could intervene in the world if he so chooses: “… The world must really be open for us to act within it. It seems to me likely also to be open to God to act within it. In other words, God’s providential interaction with history is not ruled out by what
Hey guys Tyler8014 here bringing you some reviews on the new updates in RuneScape. Not a whole lot I need to right in the description because I covered a lot in the video. I added some call-outs in the video so if you can’t hear me, you can read them. I set a different thing for my mic so hopefully I’m louder now so you can hear me better. Subscribe please!! Link from runescape.com http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1658 Random Event Update We have just completed a comprehensive rework of the random events system that will bring changes for members and non-members alike. We’ve retired some of the older random events from active service, overhauled others, and rewritten the rewards for almost every surviving event. We’ve also changed the rate at which you get random events, and made it possible for all players to get all the events even if they don’t do the activities that are typically associated with them. So maybe you’ll get to meet Capn Arnav or the Bee-keeper for the first ti
