Erratic or irregular movements, which we call unpredictable or random, occur spontaneously and are essential part of microscopic and macroscopic worlds. When superimposed to the predictable movements, they make up the random fluctuations sometimes called noise. Heat and temperature are macroscopic manifestations of these fluctuations at the microscopic level, and statistical physics constit…
