Quantum Fortune Cookie

by Cliff Pickover

Above is your fortune for today in a red font. If you need something more specific, think of a question that you have about your life. Then click the blinking light and observe your fortune. Every 140 milliseconds, a new fortune is generated by monitoring the radioactive decay of a uranium isotope fragment. When you click on the blinking light, you enter the timeline to generate your own special message.

I am interested in the history of divination -- any methods that people have used to foretell the future. I present a huge collection of such methods, from stone age to New Age, in my book Dreaming the Future.
