Consequences for physics etc (ignore this if you don’t care for applications)
Anything that seems random is due to a fast pseudorandom generator: beta decay, results of split experiments… (verifiable, but not necessarily falsifiable within given time interval)
Quantum computing will not scale well
Probabilistic algorithms depending on truly random input will not scale well
Our universe will not get many times older than it is now (roughly: probability 2-n that it will get 2n times older)
