Greetings reader
And why should you care about encryption for secure communication? Encryption is used to make Internet traffic unreadable except by the sender and the receiver. Some examples are HTTPS, SSL, and TTL. You probably want that.
So how are lava lamps, a historical artifact from the 1960s, used to provide unbreakable encryption for the Internet in 2020? Unbreakable encryption is only possible with a random seed to start it. Computers are not very good at generating random seeds. Cloudflare is a company involved in up to 80% of Internet traffic, they must have unbreakable encryption. In Cloudflare's lobby in San Francisco is a wall with 100 lava lamps called "The Wall of Entropy". The graphic of this posts is "The Wall of Entropy". The lava lamps are attractive, but also practical. A camera watches the lava lamps globs rising and falling. The video stream of this motion is used to create random numbers for encryption seeds. Since the rising/falling globs behavior can not be modeled mathematically; these create perfectly random seeds for encryptions; and thus unbreakable encryption.
May you find this as interesting, and unusual, as I did. Reality is sometimes more weird than fiction.
