Is it possible for an electronic device to produce truly random numbers? No, it isn't.

Why? Because random does not exist. Everything is deterministic. Random is just a name we give to things that seem to happen arbitrarily, but that really isn't the case.

Unfortunately, We just don't have a good enough understanding of the universe to prove this. Something like that might be quite far off. Though, I believe in less than 500 years Homo sapiens will have been long obsolete.

No, you don't get it, man.  When physicists say "it's physical law" what they really mean is "We blew all the grant money that was supposed to go to figuring that out on shemale Thai hookers, so we'll just tell everyone it's random".

Seriously, look it up.
