This episode is all about Randonautica, a new quantum adventuring app created by Joshua Lengfelder & Auburn salcedo that's powered by RNG. As more and more randonauts share their experiences online, a common creepy thread ties them all together.
Is Randonautica something akin to a modern day Ouija board, or is it simply randomized coordinates? The creators insist that these adventures can be influenced by our own fears and intentions. Is that what is causing so many users to report having terrifying experiences while using the app?
From the website RANDONAUTICA.COM:
“The Randonautica app puts the user in the Director's Chair of an adventure story yet to be written. By using the app, the user can break from their mundane day-to-day and take a journey of randomness into the world around them.
Your mind is your guide as you observe and view the world differently. Traveling into the unknown is a journey like no other!
Break out of your reality tunnel, re-calibrate your mind and have fun on an adventure into the world you never knew existed.
Welcome, Future Randonaut!”
What is RNG?
RNG provided by Australian National University [ANU] in their lab:
"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. Consequently, the electromagnetic field of the vacuum exhibits random fluctuations in phase and amplitude at all frequencies. By carefully measuring these fluctuations, we are able to generate ultra-high bandwidth random numbers."
the ANU Quantum Random Numbers Server can be accessed online.
