That is pretty cool. However, it would not appear to be very useful if
you need the ability to replicate your results (e.g. in cases where you
would use a known seed value to reproduce a pseudo-random series of
numbers). Nevertheless, it's probably as close as one can get to "true"
randomness. Ain't physics great?
