What does randomness look like?

This article discusses the concept of randomness and how it manifests in the real world. It starts by examining different random processes, such as the growth patterns of plants or the occurrence of stock market fluctuations. The article then explores how randomness is often accompanied by patterns, which can make it difficult to distinguish between true randomness and patterns that appear random. It also discusses the challenges of generating random numbers and the importance of randomness in fields like cryptography. Overall, the article provides an interesting insight into the nature of randomness and its various manifestations.
