It is when the xray and the

that you can get some major transcription errors.

When two things try to occupy
the same place at the same time,
the system can go bye-bye.

Randomness and an apparently

go together.

Sam, if you're building a car,
do you want *anything* in the
 production process to be
 random?

   Such as a "pinch" of salt. For any given cook, I suspect the
   mass of salt in a "pinch" has a normal distribution.

   Same is true for various alignments of parts in automobile
   assemblage. One desires to keep the "random" variations below
   some specified limit.

Exactly!!
One seeks to reduce tolerances in
order to improve mileage, increase lifetime, etc.

Random is a *bad* thing. It is not something
that should be part of any blueprint. Let alone
a TOE

John, thermodynamics is specifically the field of understanding random
motion. As a field, it has been in steady growth since 1650. A good
portion of our technology is centered around exploiting that random
motion to produce ordered motion, or using ordered motion to lower
random motion in one place and increase it elsewhere. Some of the
people involved in the fundamentals were Carnot, Gibbs, Kelvin, Joule,
Maxwell, Bose, Einstein, Boltzmann, Clausius, Fahrenheit, and others.

If you want to talk about structural engineering and design, then I'm
sure not much of this is relevant to that. But that doesn't mean that
all physics should be encompassed by what you've gleaned from
structural engineering and design.




If you're cooking with a number of ingredients,
which part of that process do you want to
be random?

If you're dressing for work, is that a random process, perhaps?
