Events can be said to be "caused", after the fact. Randomness is a function of time. As time goes through NOW the amount of Randomness goes to zero. The past is fully explained and the future is less constrained the further out we predict. TP <font color=grey> 299,792,458 meters / second - It's not just a good idea, it's the law! </font> There is a real consequence to the randomness and time relationship. Once events pass through time==0 (now) it is in essence destroyed. It seems strange to consider that there is no time within past events, after all we have our clocks, and calendars, and fossils and theories all based on this long ago and that long ago and whether some history was before 1492 or after. In all this history and pre-history time only exists as a memory of possibilities that are no longer possible. A certain date and hour of the past is associated with something fixed and unchanging, time is no longer a dynamic and living force. Time is therefore a product of randomness and is strong evidence that our universe is not deterministic. TP <font color=grey>A point to ponder: Is either time or uncertainty a dependant variable?</font>
