Actually, it truly is random...

How can we tell if that's the case?


First of all, because somebody on the internet said so

Then, a long time ago a man named Brown was watching paint chips dance
around under a microscope, and it occured to him that one way to explain
it would be water molecules bouncing off the paint chips in random
vectors. This explanation is of course just another example of the human
mind seeking to find patterns where none exist, but it fits nicely in
with a number of other such explanations... none of these explanations
can be proven false and together they seem to explain & predict (to a
large extent) behavior... does that make it true?

What would Aristotle say?
