  1. Mind Matter and Machines Tools for Anomalies Research PEAR Laboratory, Princeton University Roger Nelsonrdnelson@princeton.edu

  2. We have used many machines All based on Random Sources Random Drumbeat Dual Thermistor Electronic REG/RNG Chaotic Fountain Linedar Pendulum

  3. Designing a flawless experiment is extremely difficult, and carrying one out is probably impossible.- - Jessica Utts, Seeing Through Statistics

  4. The beginning of a viable Experiment is good design And careful implementation

  5. The technology has been developing Over the last four decades Reliable, calibrated REG/RNG devices Increasing sophistication of design Computer recording and analysis Controlled explorations Theoretical questions Robust analyses

  6. New generations of Random SourcesPEAR B-Box: Thermal Johnson NoiseMindsong: Field Effect Transistor Palmtop Portability Replications and Extensions

  7. How it works: Here’s 1000 Trials from A physical random sourceEach trial is the sum of 200 bits

  8. The binomial distribution of 1000 200-bit trials, compared with Theoretical normal distribution expected

  9. What happens to the data over time?Plot cumulative deviation from expectation A General Case GCP Standard Analysis Should be a Random Walk (a “drunkard’s walk”)

  10. The REG technology is basicExperimental questions can varyFeedback and perspective change outcome

  11. Feedback mode can be simple numbersOr plots of cumulative deviationsIs one of these better?

  12. Laboratory Experiments, PEAR:Intention to change the REG behavior High and Low both depart from expectation HI BL LO

  13. 522 REG Experiments: The Difference Between High and Low Intention is Small, but is a Significant Shift

  14. Other Experiments with Random Physical Systems Fabry Perot Interferometer Crookes Tube Dual Thermistor Degraded Shift Register Random Mechanical Cascade Linear Pendulum Linear to Turbulent Flow (Fountain) …

  15. An Onboard REG controls the pathof a Robot (with a Frog passenger) Poisson distributed rotation and distance

  16. Random Mechanical Cascade (RMC)The Pinball MachineMurphy9000 ¾ inch balls19 collecting bins10’ high 6’ wide

  17. A Linear PendulumSwinging in Air Increase or Decrease Damping Knife edge breaks An LED beamTiming by a 50 Nanosecond clock

  18. A Random Event Generator (REG or RNG) Mindsong REG Orion RNG

  19. Broader Applications: A continuous running REG in the lab, with software to mark eventsIn November, 1995, Rabin was Assassinated

  20. Field REG Experiments: Take portable REG With Palmtop Computer into the FieldResonant vs Mundane Situations

  21. In FieldREG there are no Assigned Intentions We simply collect data in the situationWe find departures from expectation Queens Chamber Grand Gallery Kings Chamber

  22. Departures from expectation correlate with Coherent or Resonant group consciousnessDeeply engaging ideas and emotions

  23. Going Global: A prototype collaborationColleagues in Europe and the US Collected 12 independent data streams

  24. Global Consciousness Project Combined dataFor a whole day, from 48 eggs

  25. We can see better what’s happening by Plotting the cumulative deviationsCorrelation Tilts … Variance Spreads

  26. Maybe a trend in the cumulative Deviation is Meaningful?

  27. Examples of the range ofPotential Global Events:Natural disastersTerrible accidentsThe beginning of warThe Pope’s pilgrimageGrand celebrations Political excitementAstrological hot spotsWorld-wide meditations

  28. Tearing the Social Fabric:Terrorists Attack Civilians and Diplomats Nato Bombs Kosovo to End Ethnic CleansingTaliban Destroy Ancient Buddhist TreasureSeptember 11 Enters History of the Earth

  29. Major disasters that engage us powerfullyOften correlate with big deviations

  30. An exploration of context: Six hours of dataAround the beginning of bombing in Kosovo

  31. Sept 11 prediction: Inter-egg Variance will fluctuate Red is real data, Green is Pseudorandom

  32. Repairing the Social Fabric:HealingMeditationsPrayer VigilsCeremoniesHolidays

  33. A Substantial Agreement on Getting Our Ecological Act Together

  34. Voices For Peace -- World-Wide Conscience -- Global Consciousness

  35. And Yet -- A Preemptive Attack The March to War is No Random Walk

  36. The Lighter Side Celebrations: What better example than New Years?

  37. An obvious prediction: New Years celebrationsAcross all (37) time zones Three of five are classic examples

  38. Prediction: New YearsReduction of Variance Among the Eggs Three of five are classic confirmations

  39. Questions outnumber answersDeep engagement is powerful Great numbers contribute butDoes distance from the focus matter?How about relevance to local people?Is human consciousness necessary? Are “experimenter effects” the source? What kinds of events are “strongest”?Is the effect repeatable and reliable?

  40. Does the distance of the eggsFrom the event make a difference?

  41. Categories: What seems to touch the EGG Network? Four and a Half Years, 132 Formal Predictions

  42. The Bottom Line:132 global events over 4.5 yearsOdds: About 100,000 to 1
