While studyting Higgs boson and following links I came apon a description of a description of an experiment which I am now unable to find although the page name was two words one of which was quantum, and my discussion would be more meaningful if I could cite the actual experiment. A part of the description of the experiment said a random number generator was used so that the numerical values used in the experiment would not be physically or mathematically linked. The problem is the seemingly random numbers that are produced by a computer are not random at all and are 100% precdicable, as any good computer tech would know are generated by a mathematical algorithym and over a period or number of go's all numbers in the set come up an equal number of times, in accorance with the theory of large numbers.

There are two problems; the experiment would have had the mathematical algorithym hanging over it like a ghost. The second problem is, is there really any such thing as a random number or does random need to be defined uniquely for each aplication.
