Almost everyone has in some situations heard about the word randomness, but few reflect on the importance and enlightenments of it in the world. However, in the current world, people are facing more randomness in all fields, and some may hold a biased attitude towards randomness. This paper tries to give readers a better understanding on the meaning and concept of randomness, exploring the properties and some basic rules of randomness by thinking about randomness in some different academic fields, including biology(the process of biological evolution), data science and computer science(mathematical models and algorithm), and chemistry(the concept of entropy). By thinking about the connection of the randomness in these different fields in an interdisciplinary way, this paper provides some new perspecitives to comprehend randomness and then gives readers some enlightenments to view and treat randomness more wisely.
