Compulsive gambling is one of the most insidious forms of addiction. This strange phenemona has both gender and ethnic mores. Women addicts outnumber men as evidenced by visiting any casino. The Chinese have a high addiction rate. Fortunately, the patrons at the Dime Box Saloon have the only

Do you mean random in the sense unknown and unpridicted or do you mean a numbersequence with a certain distribution. The latter is often what is being meant but strictly speaking those numbers are not random. I object what is being said on the Physorg link. The processes they refer to are not

If a configuration of vaccuum tubes and relays (i.e. resistors, capacitors and inductors) can emulate a transitor, and a configuration of transitors can emulate a memresistor, then it follows that there exists (in theory) a configuration of vaccuum tubes and relays which can emulate a

Robin Horace, I think you will find that the ZPE cutoff frequency is about 10^43 Hz. Any number in the THz region is simply a limitation imposed by the hardware. This may be a semantics problem. The Haisch Calphysics site mentions the recent work by Christian Beck at the University of London
