- Quantification_of_randomness abstract "Randomness is an extremely ambiguous word not only in everyday language but also or even especially in science. Almost each branch of science has its own interpretation and hence own ways of handling the characteristic randomness. This confused situation is typical whenever there is no generally acknowledged unit defined for a characteristic. This was the reason why in 1889 by the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) the three characteristics length, mass, and time were selected and in 1954 during the 10th CGPM three more characteristics were added and it was decided to derive an International System of Units (SI) that should cover all physical characteristics. The six base characteristics and the corresponding units are length (meter), mass (kilogram), time (second), electric current (ampere), thermodynamic temperature (kelvin), luminous intensity (candela). In 1971 a seventh quantity was added, namely amount of substance (mole).Unfortunately, the characteristic "randomness" was and is not included in the SI, although randomness plays an essential role in the physical science. This shortcoming had and has serious consequences as it prevents to handle risks and dangers in a way that crises and catastrophes can be prevented as can be seen from the recent catastrophes which, for example, hit Japan in March 2011.[citation needed]One of the reasons for not considering randomness as a base characteristic of physics is probably the fact that most religions and in particular Christianity deny the existence of something like randomness and that science and especially physics followed religion and neglected randomness although randomness is well observed in physics.[citation needed] Not considering randomness in the SI had strange consequences. For example, the probability that an interaction of a given kind will take place between a nucleus and an incident neutron is called cross-section or "effective cross-sectional area" and the unit for the probability is given as square centimeter, which obviously makes not much sense.".
