This video has been 4 years in the making… In undergrad I started work on a random number generator that used a geiger tube to generate random pulses and a nixie as the primary display (here's the ancient "it almost works" video:    • Random Box Preview  ). Unfortunately, I couldn't prove it was actually working back then because I couldn't make the geiger tick faster with the test alpha source I had (alpha particles get blocked supereasily). I rebuilt the thing this past summer, and FINALLY got to making the video! I hope you enjoy it!

If you're interested, here's a nice relativelyplainEnglish summary of the manyworldshypothesis (Rick and Morty) and it mentions the competing Copenhagen interpretation (Schrodinger's cat).
