Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events. A random sequence of events, symbols or steps has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Individual random events are by definition unpredictable, but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or "trials") is predictable. For example, when throwing two dice, the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable, but a sum of 7 will occur twice as often as 4. In this view, randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome, rather than haphazardness, and applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy.
The fields of mathematics, probability, and statistics use formal definitions of randomness. In statistics, a random variable is an assignment of a numerical value to each possible outcome of an event space. This association facilitates the identification and the calculation of probabilities of the events. Random variables can appear in random sequences. A random process is a sequence of random variables whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern, but follow an evolution described by probability distributions. These and other constructs are extremely useful in probability theory and the various applications of randomness.
A coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances which have no apparent causal connection with each other. The perception of remarkable coincidences may lead to supernatural, occult, or paranormal claims. Or it may lead to belief in fatalism, which is a doctrine that events will happen in the exact manner of a predetermined plan.
From a statistical perspective, coincidences are inevitable and often less remarkable than they may appear intuitively. An example is the birthday problem, which shows that the probability of two persons having the same birthday already exceeds 50% in a group of only 23 persons.
The word is derived from the Latin cum- ("with", "together") and incidere (a composed verb from "in" and "cadere": "to fall on", "to happen").
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung developed a theory which states that remarkable coincidences occur because of what he called "synchronicity," which he defined as an "acausal connecting principle."

How can we know that at least two people in London have exactly the same number of hairs on their head? And why can patterns be found in just about any text — even Vanilla Ice lyrics? PatrickJMT describes the Ramsey theory, which states that given enough elements in a set or structure, some interesting pattern among them is guaranteed to emerge.

A dental receptionist is shot in the chest at point blank range and amazingly, she survives. Did her breast implants save her life? In a bizarre twist of fate, a young man saves the life of a woman only to discover she saved his life seven years earlier. Is it a random coincidence, or are mysterious universal forces at work? And, around the globe, most of the world’s 1.3 billion cows are literally facing the same direction. Are they aligning themselves with the Earth’s magnetic fields?
We all encounter randomness every day — it is part of how we talk about the weather, sports, and even love. But despite being so familiar, randomness can be an elusive idea to pin down. Join mathematician Matthew Richey as he guides us toward greater understanding, demonstrating how randomness can be used as the secret ingredient in tackling famously difficult problems. Special introduction by professor and bestselling author (The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness) Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Math Encounters is a public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics and presented by the Simons Foundation and the National Museum of Mathematics. For further information, call the Museum of Mathematics at (212) 542-0566 or e-mail mathencounters@momath.org.

Dutch and Random talk about the lazy brains knee jerk reaction to find patterns and also talk about the problem of bullying in anticipation of Thursday night's debut of Arisen Strength where the topic is, you guessed it, bullying.
Hello everyone and welcome back!! Thanks again for your patience!! I meant to have this up at the latest last night, but due to working late and company... I was able to finally finish editing this in just a few hours ago, but alas, due to rendering and uploading (which adds a few hours extra) it's finally published in the afternoon, whoo! The reason for my babbles is just to put my mind at ease that I'm never lazy when it comes to editing. I love it and all of you for watching and liking our channel! If or when time prevails (meaning once upon a dream if we can do this more fulltime financially) we would gladly upload all the time! Also, Nik and Li are on vaca this week (a random coincidence since they're at different locations) and will be back in the beginning of the week! So look for ...

In the first half of today's course we cover first the principle of positron emission tomography (PET), namely coincidence detection and electronic collimation, followed by the effect of random and scattered coincidences.

i have devised a way
where i don't care what you say
cause talkin with you's impossible
we've reached a stalemate
we could lose a million ways
still the result is the same
so why try to debate?
the pettiness is what i hate
breaking all ties to you
cause you don't fit my brain
no offense, your circumstance
didn't lend itself to us
no synchronicity
between you and me
the coincidence of chance
makes faulty circumstance
why can't we operate on confidence
you cauterize a broken fence
but as for me
this shit is through
i have laid across the tracks for you
your broken leg i went through too
but you give me no reason
to not rise above
release me from your untrue love
you give me no affection
no affection
no synchronicity
between you and me
the coincidence of chance
