  1. Re:Are those REALLY random number generators? on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    That is not really true. What look like random fluctuations exist, but they are also a function of environment. Temperature, electromagnetic fields, voltage, static, etc. For example, the static on a tv may be "white" noise, but a strong magnetic field will skew the results.

    "Elgenco's engineering staff describe the proprietary module as "solid state junctions with precision pre-amplifiers," implying processes that rely on quantum tunneling to produce an unpredictable, broad-spectrum white noise in the form of low-amplitude voltage fluctuations"

    While the results are interesting, something as simple as simple radio transmision might effect these results. Calling the findings a result of a psychic phenomenon, is a great leap.
