ANU Quantum Random Number Server This website offers true random numbers to anyone on the internet. The random numbers are generated in real-time in our lab by measuring the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum. The vacuum is described very differently in the quantum mechanical context than in the classical context. Traditionally, a vacuum is considered as a space that is empty of matter or photons. Quantum mechanically, however, that same space resembles a sea of virtual particles appearing and disappearing all the time. This result is due to the fact that the vacuum still possesses a zero-point energy. This quantum Random Number Generator is based on the paper: [Appl. This website allows everybody to see, listen or download our quantum random numbers, assess in real time the quality of the numbers generated and learn more about the physics behind it. We now support authenticated and secured connections for the live streams and random blocks.

Zero-Point Energy Updated 5 February 2009 Quantum theory predicts, and experiments verify, that so-called empty space (the vacuum) contains an enormous residual background energy known as zero-point energy or ZPE. This energy derives its name from the fact that at temperatures of absolute zero (- 273o Celsius), elementary particles continue to exhibit energetic behavior. Originally, the possible uses of zero-point energy was thought to be of significance only for such esoteric concerns as small perturbations in atomic emission processes. Theoretical contributions have been done by such pioneers as Nobel laureates Ilya Prigogine, P. The critical factor here is that linear systems tend toward increasing entropy (i.e. the result of two inputs being the sum of their corresponding outputs), whereas under certain conditions, nonlinear systems have been shown to evolve toward macroscopic order. T. The immediate and down-to-Earth future of ZPE and related theories is very exciting. 1) Over-unity energy systems,
Bring Quantum Generators to the World! by Hope Moore Four months ago, FTW boldly went where many have tried to go before. We embarked on a mission to create a free energy device that will be distributed directly to the people. We call this device the Quantum Energy Generator, or QEG. I am now here, living on the property where the QEG is being assembled, observing its progress. It is almost complete, and we will soon be flipping the switch that can change the world. The QEG is a crisp, clean, and modern device based on Tesla’s public domain design and built with incredible engineering precision (for example it has over 300 precision cut steel plates each at 18 ½ 1,000ths of an inch thick). Let’s take this a step further and think about the millions of people in our world that live without a source of power. At this stage we are trying to raise $20,000 to finish this monumental project and bridge the GAP to its grassroots cottage industry distribution.
Quantum random number generator Friday, April 11, 2014 Reliable and unbiased random numbers are needed for a range of applications spanning from numerical modeling to cryptographic communications. While there are algorithms that can generate pseudo random numbers, they can never be perfectly random nor indeterministic. Researchers at the ANU are generating true random numbers from a physical quantum source.

Nothing helps create pure randomness › News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Monday, 16 April 2012 Darren OsborneABC Counting on nothing Quantum fluctuations within a vacuum are helping Australian researchers create billions of random numbers. The random number generator, created by Professor Ping Koy Lam, Dr Thomas Symul and Dr Syed Assad from the Australian National University (ANU), uses highly sensitive light detectors to 'listen' to an empty space. Until recently a vacuum was thought to be completely empty. This 'vacuum noise' may affect, and ultimately pose a limit to, the performance of fibre optic communication, radio broadcasts and computer operation. "While it has always been thought to be an annoyance that engineers and scientists would like to circumvent, we instead exploited this vacuum noise and used it to generate random numbers," says Lam, who is part of the ANU's ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology. "Random number generation has many uses in information technology.
How To Wire Your Brain For Happiness The secret to lasting happiness might be neatly summed up in a cheesy neuroscience joke: "The neurons that fire together, wire together." "It’s a classic saying, and it’s widely accepted because it’s very true," neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, author of Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science Of Contentment, Calm and Confidence, tells The Huffington Post. “The longer the neurons [brain cells] fire, the more of them that fire, and the more intensely they fire, the more they’re going to wire that inner strength –- that happiness, gratitude, feeling confident, feeling successful, feeling loved and lovable.” But on a day to day basis, most of us don’t stay with our positive experiences long enough for them to be encoded into neural structure (meaning there's not enough wiring and firing going on). Hanson argues that the problem is we're wired to scout for the bad stuff -- as he puts it, the brain is like velcro for negative experience and teflon for positive ones. Take in the good.
The Ultimate Question of Origins: God and the Beginning of the Universe The absolute origin of the universe, of all matter and energy, even of physical space and time themselves, in the Big Bang singularity contradicts the perennial naturalistic assumption that the universe has always existed. One after another, models designed to avert the initial cosmological singularity--the Steady State model, the Oscillating model, Vacuum Fluctuation models--have come and gone. Current quantum gravity models, such as the Hartle-Hawking model and the Vilenkin model, must appeal to the physically unintelligible and metaphysically dubious device of "imaginary time" to avoid the universe's beginning. The contingency implied by an absolute beginning ex nihilo points to a transcendent cause of the universe beyond space and time. Source: Astrophysics and Space Science 269-270 (1999): 723-740 The Fundamental Question From time immemorial men have turned their gaze toward the heavens and wondered. The question of why the universe exists remains the ultimate mystery.
“Lifting the Curtain” will be Considering Ashley Kimler’s Blurb, “Why Homeschool?” for Inclusion in their Second Edition Publication | Luz's Paintbrush: Reaffirming the Creator Within This one surprised me. I never even anticipated homeschooling as a topic for submissions to be included in the 2nd edition of Lifting the Curtain, let alone that a post by a parent in favor of something I always opposed would become the 2nd post selected to be a finalist for inclusion. Her post follows this commentary and introduction. I have always had such serious reservations about homeschooling that almost always I felt it was a very serious mistake by parents. No, my one major issue was that no matter how diligent a parent, I know no single person (even me!) Please don’t get me wrong – as a teacher, I still have very serious reservations, and am personally against homeschooling when there is a good public school nearby. As I read a bunch of posts and articles on it, I discovered two major changes that have me now starting to seriously look into the evolution of the 2014 version of homeschooling. So, here is a very interesting post by Ashley Kimler. Why Homeschool? Like this:
unification, spacetime foam, quantum vacuum, quantum fluctuations Physics of the early Universe is at the boundary of astronomy and philosophy since we do not currently have a complete theory that unifies all the fundamental forces of Nature at the moment of Creation. In addition, there is no possibility of linking observation or experimentation of early Universe physics to our theories (i.e. it's not possible to `build' another Universe). Our theories are rejected or accepted based on simplicity and aesthetic grounds, plus their power of prediction to later times, rather than an appeal to empirical results. This is a very difference way of doing science from previous centuries of research. Our physics can explain most of the evolution of the Universe after the Planck time (approximately 10-43 seconds after the Big Bang). Another way of seeing this problem is trying to reproduce the Greek philosophers thinking about matter, as applied to spacetime.

Zero Point Energy (ZPE) In a recent article in the popular press (The Economist, January 7, 1989, pp. 71-74) it was noted how many of this century's new technologies depend on the Alice-in-Wonderland physics of quantum mechanics, with all of its seeming absurdities. For starters, one begins with the observation that classical physics tells us that atoms, which can be likened to a miniature solar system with electron planets orbiting a nuclear sun, should not exist. The circling electrons should radiate away their energy like microscopic radio antennas and spiral into the nucleus. But atoms do exist, and multitudinous other phenomena which don't obey the rules do occur. To resolve this cognitive dissonance physicists introduced quantum mechanics, which is essentially a set of mathematical rules to describe what in fact does happen. These are the so-called "logical positivists" who, in a philosophical sense, are like the news reporter whose only interest is the bottom line. R.
