The matrix had a reference to the twin towers and 9/11.

[00WolfinSheepskin]

what about on a media blackout? no news no news, or the microwave spikes from tv/cellular usage on such events? so many variables to believe it or not



[gunnarogu]

@00WolfinSheepskin We have addressed these and many other possible sources of effects, in our years-long search for explanations. The experimental design and sophisticated analyses allow us to exclude alternatives such as you propose. What remains is the correlation with synchronized emotion and attention by large numbers of people.

[IceAges14Aces]

@00WolfinSheepskin Exellent question! However, that question has been answered...

What's measured is the variance of randomly produced 1's and 0's which are sampled from a random electronic source, so it is quite difficult to conceive a lurking variable (e.g. an electromagnetic storm) that could influence both the electronic component and the sampling mechanism. In addition, the GCP uses PRNGs as a control group and a direct comparison of the experimental group to eliminate confounding....

[MolecularMoonlight]

There is a documentary that expands on this, entitled "Something Unknown Is Doing We Don't Know What". Just thought I would mention it. "The Living Matrix" and "What the Bleep Do We Know?" are also facinating. :0)

[gunnarogu]

@MolecularMoonlight -- Yes, I am in the "Something Unknown ..." video, which is very well done. Thanks for the comments.

[999ute999]

would be interesting to see the latest graph regarding Osama Bin Ladens death

[IceAges14Aces]

@999ute999 Unfortunately, the GCP data result regarding the Death of Osama Bin Laden didn't became statistically significant, but it was almost in that path though.

Fix the world over night. Psilocybin mushrooms and DMT for the masses.

Global Market System aka the Memon Banking System collapses.

The IllumiNAZI would be defeated.

After You experience a very powerful psychedelic, no longer will You be a materialistic being. You'll be re-directed to a new path of spiritual enlightenment and cosmic consciousness.

[Jared16777216]

@NassimHarameinVedas

eh, i'm not sure about that, maybe there is no "over night" fix or conspiracy for that matter

[NassimHarameinVedas]

@Jared16777216 - The first line is supposed to be funny, mushrooms for the masses : )

Its a start . . . ; )

[sys22kh]

All this is beyond the science, need to think by another perspective. I am Sub-conciousness basis researcher. Successfully. But the existing science is not understand that, if there is someone who can think by another way.. may can discuss about the things.

[TheAverageOctave]

it's simple: we're beginning to map the noosphere. but we don't only have to measure sadness, if the media begins to broadcast great moments of happiness and love, we will find patterns corresponding to those emotions as well. see Teilhard de Chardin: The Phenomenon of Man.

[explosivedoubt]

the astrophysicist has a point but he's also neglecting the fact that a one in a million pattern just happened to coincide with a one in a million day. Why didn't we get this one in a million pattern yesterday when jack shit happened guy? It's not proof positive, but in my opinion the coincidence at least doubles the odds that the generators were affected by our emotion/collective focus on one topic.

[cybersayer]

As Arthur Schopenhauer said: All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Such "ridicule" may be incontrovertible evidence of the validity of GCP.

[Damienf77]

The longer something is planned and steps are taken to ensure a given result, the further into predictability that event falls. 911 was planned for a long time and symbolism was placed in movies and television for years before it. What this does is clears a path for a given result to occur and those in power know this. They also know that most people will blindly accept whatever story they're told on the news and even go so far as to mock anyone that chalenges it. This is what is being read.

[nicholasthetaylor]

As a person who's image comprises largely of defence mechanisms designed to keep people from manipulating my behaviour, I am not very happy with the discovery of this new science as it could open the gates for telepathy. Of course, I'll just have to adapt, but it'll be a lot of bother. Its not a tool that I would choose to use personally, unless there was a gadget type nature to it eg. Mind television or something. I'd like to see computer games benefitting from this new science.

[theno1katzman]

this is awesome

[gunnarogu]

The GCP and personal experience complement each other, each providing a perspective that supplements what we learn from the other view. Science is a great tool, but it isn't by itself sufficient. We also need intuition and creative interpretations of the world around us. Put it all together and the picture becomes richer and much more clear.

[melodiccharm]

I think this research is important but funny too. There are many people myself included that feel emotional waves just like seeing with our eyes. To people like us this is just a fact like vision. One day they will say, wow, many people felt these things through history but were a minority. Science is a consensus building operation. Until then this minority keeps feeling these things without words. I guess the real question is why is this sensitivity bread out of us......

[Overcastkid747]

This takes order from chaos to a new level.. I cannot wait until we figure out the science behind this.

[uranian23]

it amazes me that this isn't more well known. here we have hard, repeatable evidence for a link between consciousness and the "exterior", yet it is almost entirely unknown. noosphere needs mroe marketing!

[bridge7885]

this video is not sufficient of the information that needs to be understood in order to form a valid opinion on such a huge undertaking in the scientific community. it needs to be removed or revised so that it goes further in depth at the supporting research and facts put forth into creating this project.

[zadeh79]

A common misunderstanding or assumption is that the team finds an unusual pattern in the data (through some frame of time), and then goes back and looks for something in the News that it correlates with. But actually, just the opposite is done with these experiments: 1) Something major event occurs. 2) the team specifies a time frame they feel is appropriate for data analysis (without looking at any data prior). 3) the data within that chosen event time frame is analyzed.

[zadeh79]

I wonder if the skeptic is aware that this experiment was born out of the results of studies in quantum physics (double-slit experiment). This effect, has nothing to do with your garden-variety paranormal garbage, though it is equally as strange.

The same results have been duplicated from a variety of different experimental forms in the past.

[rinpoche1]

The so-called skeptic is no such thing. He is merely expressing a personal bias and ignoring scientific method.

[abilityoflove]

That is a very good point!

[hopeandjoywithlove]

joined/group/chemtrailvideos.

[Jdiggy77]

Skeptics never cease to amaze me. This guy and his team have been collecting data for the better part of 10 years, and the skeptic just shrugs it off. How does he know if consciousness affects the data or not. Hell, consciousness can barely be defined, so how can he say so surely that the data is just random fluctuations. Where is his data to back up his point of randomness? There are still many mysterious events, and I applaud this guy and his team for looking into things like this.

[relV6]

He's not the skeptic. On the contrary. They are the skeptics. He's just accepting what he has been taught as reality.

[abilityoflove]

"Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." - Arthur Schopenhauer

[phookadude]

The problem with this is that they have allready made the presumption that it is conciousness that is effecting the results. This is not how science works. You don't start with a presumption, you eliminate all possiblities until you come up with something. As you say conciousness is barely defined, but apperntly it will slightly affect random number generators, at least that is the presumption they have made.

[abilityoflove]

It is not a presumption but an intelligent speculation. 9/11, Princes Diana death, New Year celebrations etc were not global physical phenomena but a global cultural events, yet these were correlating with the patterns of the quantum random number generators around the word.

It started as a global conscious event and ended as a subtle global physical event as well, beyond the physiology of human body.

[phookadude]

@abilityoflove No, assigning the effect to some sort of global human conciousness is completely unscientific.

For instance, assuming the data is correct how do they know if it's not one guy who is causing the effect? How do they know if it's not maybe how people treat thier pets in times of stress that is causing the effect? How do they know if its many multiples of telivision broadcasts all duplicating each other that is the cause?

Those speculations may see silly but they are just as valid.

[abilityoflove]

Good points there and you are right that the cause could be somethng else. However in the case of this research team, they made experiments which statistically prove that a single human mind can affect a single quantum random number generator or other chaotic mechanical systems. Chaotic systems are very sensitive to any slight influence and show patterns (attractors) if modulated even by a very weak force.

It is not just one experiment that lead to this particular INTERPRETATION...

[deepika12]

@abilityoflove The same year our Royal family in Nepal was massacred....I know, this doesn't really matter to the world but I just wanted to add to your list............

[Neutrinoghost]

@Jdiggy77 I agree with your point, but to just call him a "sceptic" is a bit harsh. He's an Astrophysicist, one of the most intelligent people in the world and undoubitbly a fantastic researcher in his own right. I think he's point is entirely valid, stranger things have happened.

[angelsssssssssssss]

@Jdiggy77 Actually, those skeptics are not skeptics, they are in fact, pseudoskeptics. A true skeptic is always open to change his/her mind by conclusive evidence, never shrug off the evidence, and dismiss it out of hand. A skeptic says, "Show me" while a pseudoskeptic says, "Nonsense!". Pseudoskepticism is based on faith based disbelief, i.e., "Deniers". There is empirical scientific evidence that supports the hypothesis that consciousness affects matter, which is called, "Psychokinesis".

[angelsssssssssssss]

@Jdiggy77 I am actually a skeptic and in order to convince me, I need to see conclusive, unbiased, evidence. I have tried to look for possible explanations for these bizzare psychokinetic effects, such as inappropriate statistical methods, bad experimental quality, publication bias, etc. and not one of these explanations can explain the effects, so I came to the conclusion that something interesting is going on and concluded that consciousness or mind might really affect matter after all..

[Jdiggy77]

@angelsssssssssssss I have tons more respect for you for not dismissing it right off-hand. Major paradigm shifts in our understanding of nature always move very slowly. But without true scientific skeptics such as yourself, it would move much more slowly.

It's been about a century since humanity realized that matter = energy and time and space are intimately connected, but most people fail to see the significance. I think the next major shift will be in our understanding of consciousness.

[rdnelson]

whatoneknows commented:

It is not JUST that these jumps in the random event generators occur randomly out of chaos, it is that these jumps outside the range of probability are occuring in tandem with worldly events and this correlation can be recorded.

If you record suche jumps on 12 different occasions and it occurs every time in tandem with a worldly event, you can measure the probability of their co-occuring on all 12 occasions. It is 12/4096. Do that 4 a long time and try to deny it.

[Paranormal999]

Typical that someone who deals with only things he can conceive dismisses the data as random nothingness, well if NASA stuck to that way of thinking they would never have sent half the rockets they have into space, and we would not know about black-holes at the heart of every galaxy.

[anukefromrussia]

We live in an age where random numbers are not random anymore.

[wonOnbi]

WHAT IF?

[sudnaidu]

Haha, its more like the Television mind-contol of western countries random generators!

[greyonednb]

lol ... NASA *roll eyes* those gaylords know more then 20years-ahead-of-us science/technology and they dare to blow of this thing.

its time to wake up ... globaly

peace

[milliondustopeners]

i wonder what would happen if everyone prayed with their hearts for love to prevail?

[Phazerous]

@milliondustopeners Studies have shown that neural tissue exists within the human heart. Many believe that this is where emotion is generated. (For people who may think that feeling emotion in your heart is a stupid thing that people just say)

[Jared16777216]

@Phazerous

There are other areas body with lots of nerves, such as genitalia . . . maybe that is where emotion comes from

[Phazerous]

@Jared16777216 I love you......... with my balls XD

[jtoksa]

I wonder why "global consciousness" is supposed to affect hardware random number generators?

I mean, they might as well be monitoring cloud patterns on Jupiter, sounds made by whales, average north/west orientation of cows, or any other phenomenon that is totally unrelated to what humans are thinking.

Besides, if random numbers showed structure or correlation to some real world phenomenon, they would not be random would they?

[goldgrif]

micro pk,

[jtoksa]

> micro pk,

??????

[DrewJ16]

The random numbers are actually called "CHI SQUARE" a statistic terminology.

[tobiaskelvin]

wow :) maybe they fake these big events to raise global consiousness :)

[tjmac7]

what would be the effect of block buster movies?

[tobiaskelvin]

maybe people would have the same opinions about this movie :)

[sloeber]

Just check the much hyped dark knight, it's full of subliminal mindf*cks. I mean "believe in harvey dent" does that ring a bell.
