The muon-powered, universe-bifurcating, random number machine

If you're interested, here's a nice relatively-plain-English summary of the many-worlds-hypothesis (Rick and Morty) and it mentions the competing Copenhagen interpretation (Schrodinger's cat).

It's okay to admit you built a thing to show all your quantum physics memes.

Q: How do you make a truly random number generator?

A: Bombard a planet with sunlight for billions of years.

Him just punching random numbers into a calculator, getting a syntax error, and continuing to punch random numbers sped up is way funnier than it should have been

[himselfe]

I believe my local supermarket uses this process to decide where and when to place products.

[mashmachine]

Ah, but the numbers rolled in this video are no longer random, because they were recorded and will come out the same every time now.

It could be a prototype for Divergence meter. May the choice of steins gate be with you. El Psy Congroo.

Make another one that just toggles between 0 and 1 (Randomly) and label it "Schrodinger's Vegan Cat".

"The sky is radioactive, too!"
AAAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAAA

Honestly, it was nice to see a Nixie in a project that WASN'T a clock.

Fun fact, you can also call an RDRAND instruction on an Intel cpu made after 2012. It uses thermal noise in the chip to produce a true random number.

[Garbaz]

Props for using no Arduino (or any microcontroller at all)

[DarkMetaOFFICIAL]

Everyone ever: True randomness is literally impossible. Fact.

Quantum Physics: lol hold my beer/not beer 😂

[mjrippe]

I have to say that I love everything about this project. The graphics around the box telling the story of what's going on inside are double plus good.

[adamstolen]

Very smooth execution and presentation. Phenomenal job with putting the random number generator together! If you could make a double nixie tube system, I’m convinced there are some dedicated D&D players that would demand one of these elegant quantum systems to make their game proper.🤓

[sangeethav]

Nice Video, haha didn't expect the multiverse editing, that was fun to watch.

[axaide]

13:20 "using this mill feels like overkill for this project" - guy using the properties of quantum physics to make a random number generator

[specific_pseudonym]

If you made more of these, I would totally buy one.

[Steph.]

Imagine rolling up to your dnd game with this

"I swear if this thing doesn't have a nixie tu-

[jedstanaland]

When I was in the military I proposed a setup for random number generator that used subatomic particals to pick a randomly selected number that was then used to pick a random number of algorithms for a second number to be run through and then that will be your result the order of the algorithms could be determined randomly along with the starting algorithm and you could also make it repeat any number of times you want at random and the whole idea was to introduce as much difficulty as possible to determining the final value and what might have made the whole thing possible is that you could possibly just get it to work on a smartphone of the time.
