I was wondering about a problem lately about randomness and I am not sure if the answer to this is already known (or obvious). Let say we have a black box that can return a random number, say in the range [0,1]. If somehow it is possible for us to open the box and see how it works (the algorithm maybe) , does the box loses its "random" nature? I mean if we find out how some object X works, does that reduces the state of X being random? Is randomness equiv to being unknown?
