    Entropy for Random Number Generation

    Sorry for the vagueness, I'm basically trying to create a quantum level emulator and give it various scenarios. I'm a complete newbie at all this but I'm pretty sure quantum level events are about as random as you can get, so emulating them would need a decent RNG. I've still got a long way to...

    What do you expect from a sci fi novel?

    To me personally, yes, too much detail destroys my own interpretation of the scene. But like I said, that's just me. Edit: But to be clear, I'm talking about details superfluous to the plot. Essential details of course need to be there. Some authors may for example note the colour of a car or...

    Entropy for Random Number Generation

    I want to generate very random numbers. There's a few approaches to this, such as the audio input from a de-tuned radio, hooking user input such as mouse movement and hashing the results over a period of time etc.. My idea was to get a cheap Geiger Counter and just leave it monitoring background...

    What do you expect from a sci fi novel?

    I can only tell you what I like in a story which may be very different from someone else. Personally, I don't care if the story uses real world physics or "yet to be discovered" physics, or even false physics, just so long as it is consistent about it. An author's world is THEIR world and they...

    Advice on Quantum Physics for Novel Writing

    Hi all, I thought this might be the best place to ask rather than just go charging in with inane questions and getting shot down. In short, I'm writing a novel which is based heavily on Quantum Physics and am looking for advice on aspects of this subject as they relate to events in the story...

    What is Quantum Physics and Why is it So Fascinating?

    Hi Everyone My name is Marcus and I'm VERY interested in Quantum Physics. I spend hours reading (and desperately trying to comprehend) all sorts of articles and watch numerous YouTube videos on the subject. I'm quite partial to PBS SpaceTime as that dumbs it down enough and makes it...
