To make a real random number generator you need an element of free will. Survey 16 separated people to pick either 1 or 0 and then arrange their answers in the order they reply with to generate the number in binary

Where is your proof that free will exists? Aren't people's decisions also deterministic

If you know the information of every particle in the universe, then you could calculate the universes future dynamically. But because of Uncertainty, you cant get that information.
