IDTIMWYTIM Stochasticity THATS Random

The video tutorial explains the concept of stochasticity, which is often misunderstood as mere randomness. It clarifies that randomness involves unpredictability within predictable rules. An experiment at UC Berkeley highlights common misconceptions about randomness, showing that real random sequences display patterns that fake ones do not. Stochastic systems allow for forecasting probabilities of certain outcomes, and scientists use stochasticity to study various phenomena, from gas molecules to ecosystems. The video concludes that randomness is surprisingly predictable, contrary to common belief.
