What It Is

Exaluminal is an Internet of Things device that will notify you the Earth is about to be destroyed by a supernova up to one hour before it happens. By simply plugging Exaluminal into a wall outlet and connecting to the local WiFi network, Exaluminal will silently wait for the Earth's demise. When Extraluminal recieves a signal from the Extraluminal service, it will sound an alarm warning you of Earth's impending doom.

How It Works

During a core collapse supernova, a star will release thousands of times its normal output of photons, neutrons, and other particles. These photons radiate outwards at the speed of light in the medium they are in While a photon may take 600 years to travel from the surface of supernova to Earth, a photon generated at the core of this star may take hours or longer to travel to the surface.

While neutrinos do not travel at the speed of light, their effective speed is not affected by the density of the medium they travel in. These particles hardly interact with anything, and a lot of neutrinos are produced during a core collapse supernova. It's these neutrinos that form the basis of the Exaluminal service by serving as a warning of a local supernova, up to one hour before Earth is destroyed.

The Exaluminal service detects these neutrinos by linking together a half-dozen neutrino observatories around the globe. By correlating neturino flux measurements from these observatories, the Exaluminal service serves as an early warning system for local supernovae. This data is then pushed to the Exaluminal device, a small alarm that works on your local network to receive warnings from the Exaluminal service.

What It Does

Exaluminal plugs into an existing wall outlet and connect to the Internet via your local network.

After connecting to your network, Exaluminal connects to the Exaluminal service to recieve minute-by-minute updates of neutrino flux data. When a possible local supernova is detected, Exaluminal emits a loud audible alarm, warning you of a potential upcoming supernova.

Exaluminal handles many messaging protocols including CoAP and MQTT. Integration with cloud services allows Exaluminal to control other home IoT devices.
