The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 19 - Probability and Randomness

The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody. This is the Q&A video for Idea #19, "Probability and Randomness." But mostly people were interested in Norton's Dome and determinism, so I chat a bit about that.
