If I subscribe to the many worlds theory, every time I buy a lottery ticket one of me wins.
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
You'd have to pick numbers purely randomly. Maybe construct a machine that randomly decays cesium. If it does, it triggers some sort of mechanism to register a 1 or 0. Maybe put it in a box with a toxic fial and a cat. When it triggers, the toxic substance is released and cat dies. So depending on if cat is dead or alive you get 1 or 0. Generate enough bits this way and you'll get numbers to put in the lottery.
How many dead cats would that take?
It's impossible to tell - it's random. But on average it would take a number of cats equal to half the bitsize of the numbers you generate.
I mean, we’re talking powerball or mega millions though, right? (o_0)
