Hugo Duminil-Copin, a Fields Medal-winning mathematician at the University of Geneva, dives into the enigma of randomness. He demonstrates how our brains often misinterpret random patterns, even during playful experiments like coin flips. The conversation explores whether anything is truly random and the philosophical implications of predictability, especially in quantum physics. Additionally, insights from cognitive neuroscience reveal why humans seek order amid chaos, shedding light on the intricate relationship between randomness and perception.
