Refresh my memory? What's the White Rabbit Project again? Sounds very familiar and very spoopy

I was thinking the same thing, about the lack of diggs, which is why I asked; we need to a good one, hate to be behind the curve on breaking news

White Rabbit Project is a Netflix series starring Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara, the build team from MythBusters, that was released on December 9, 2016.[1][2][3] According to the official synopsis, the team investigates topics such as "jailbreaks, superpower technology, heists, and crazy World War II weapons", which they will explore through experiments, builds, and tests.[4] The series was cancelled by Netflix after one season.[5]
Production
The show was first announced at DragonCon 2016.[6] The show is produced by John Luscombe, Ryan Senter, and Martyn Ives, who are from Beyond Productions, the production company for Mythbusters.[7] A trailer was released for the series on November 29, 2016.[8]

White Rabbit is the name of a collaborative project including CERN, GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research and other partners from universities and industry to develop a fully deterministic Ethernet-based network for general purpose data transfer and sub-nanosecond accuracy time transfer. Its initial use was as a timing distribution network for control and data acquisition timing of the accelerator sites at CERN as well as in GSI's Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) project. The hardware designs as well as the source code are publicly available.[1] The name of the project is a reference to the White Rabbit appearing in Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Focus and goals
White Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond synchronization accuracy, which formerly required dedicated hard-wired timing systems, with the flexibility and modularity of real-time Ethernet networks. A White Rabbit network may be used solely to provide timing and synchronization to a distributed electronic system, or be used to provide both timing and real-time data transfer.[2][3]
The White Rabbit Project focuses on:
Sub-nanosecond accuracy: synchronization of more than 1000 nodes via fiber or copper connections of up to 10 km of length.
Flexibility: creates a scalable and modular platform with simple configuration and low maintenance requirements.
Predictability and Reliability: allows the deterministic delivery of highest priority messages by using Class of service.
Robustness: no losses of high priority system device control messages.
Open source hardware and software: to avoid vendor lock-in.
Another characteristic of this project is that it operates completely on open source with both the hardware and software sources available.[4]
Technologies
To achieve sub-nanosecond synchronization White Rabbit utilizes Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) to achieve syntonization[5] and IEEE 1588 (1588) Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to communicate time and a module for precise phase difference measurement between the master reference clock and the local clock based on phase frequency detectors.[3][6]
White Rabbit uses the Precision Time Protocol to achieve sub-nanosecond accuracy. A two-way exchange of the Precision Time Protocol synchronization messages allows precise adjustment of clock phase and offset. The link delay is known precisely via accurate hardware timestamps and the calculation of delay asymmetry.
White Rabbit applications
At CERN White Rabbit was used for the new control system of the injector chain.
At GSI White Rabbit will become the timing system of the FAIR complex.
The KM3NeT neutrino telescope uses White Rabbit for synchronising the detector units.[7]
The EISCAT 3D radar will utilise White Rabbit for synchronization in the beam forming network.[8]
About 6000 detector nodes for the LHAASO (Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory) experiment are synchronized by White Rabbit network.[citation needed]
At least two Cosmic Microwave Background research programs (Simons Observatory, and CMB-S4) are considering White Rabbit for the timing of their data acquisition and control systems.[citation needed]
Several companies[9] have begun to commercialise White Rabbit for commercial applications by developing their own White Rabbit hardware and software.
The first white rabbit element on the white rabbit project was the "white rabbit switch", financed by the government of Spain and CERN, and produced by Seven Solutions.
In years 2015-2016 White Rabbit was successfully deployed by Horizon 2020 Project DEMETRA service #3 and tested for distribution Galileo precise UTC using ground fiber service.[10]
