Randomosity?

Seeing as how it is impossible to know precisely everything about the universe since Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is a veil over all of existence, it would be quite ridiculous to determine any event as "random". In the universe of quantum mechanics, which by the way we live in, anything is possible, well...probable. If I punch a wall for a lifetime a chance starts to develop that upon striking it with my fist, my fist will go straight through. Would you call that "random"? How could you? If all events in the universe are governed alike then there is a predictability to its randomness, and since to be "random" you need to be void of predictability, it seems that "random" simply does not exist in this universe. Maybe in another universe...probably.

Your last sentence is very ironic. Lol. And surprisingly, your post or whatever you call it, makes sense to me.

everything can be explained through science, that is its purpose, even human perception
