Could you please elaborate, Vasile? (Details or links to details,
whatever you want). I was recently reading something by some
nuts who have set up a network of random number generators around
the world to detect "tremors in The Force", or something. They
use random bit generators based on physical (not numerical) noise,
like thermal resistor (Johnson) noise. I looked on their website
(which I'll provide if anyone is interested, I don't have it handy
right now), but although there was lots of pseudo-scientific
mish-mash, there was nothing as concrete as a schematic. So, to
broaden the question a bit, can anyone provide details for a
simple random-bit generator that works from a physical (not
computational) source? I'm interested in playing around with
such a thing (I have a lot of experience with stochastic time-
series analysis). Thanks!

Michael

Thank you for reading my little posting.
