Want to participate in a quantum physics experiment today?

Check out here http://thebigbelltest.org/#/home

They hope to get 30000 participants.

That is a long intro

I mean I am still not through it.

Can you gimme the tl:dr version?

These tests are amusing and are probably educational for some people but honestly there’s no real need for the public to be involved in this experiment.

It’s not like a crowdsourcing computational effort like seti@home or a human search collaboration. They really could generate these 0s and 1s randomly somewhere, to the same effect.

the second level oracle is hard to beat.

The Oracle rounds are hard … the other ones are basically about speed.

I mostly find speed hard.

On the last round now, you have to beat the Oracle 20 times out of 30 …

Can’t you simply throw double tops?

dart thrower.

Finding it ken hard to get more than 17 out of 30.

Okay finally through all six rounds. Now I can tell my grandkids I did my bit in the quantum wars.

Ah, random number generation. As in “the generation of random numbers is too important a topic to be left to chance”. Humans are particularly bad a producing random numbers. Not only is there the historical bias (copying numbers that you’ve seen before), and the bias towards numbers starting with 1 (can’t remember the name), but also the numbers that humans generate are anti-correlated (a tendency to avoid using similar numbers in sequence). I wonder how they overcome those problems. “Choose zeros and ones at random” is not something that humans can do.

I just tried the quick bell test. There’s too much temptation to type a repeated sequence 000000000000 or 111111111111 or 0101010101010101.
