  1. Exploring Global Mind Dean Radin, Ph.D.

  2. Speculations • What if Einstein was right? God does not play dice with the universe • What if mind and matter are deeply interrelated? • What if there are hidden causes for apparent randomness?

  3. mind information matter

  4. … 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 ... random walk Instructions: “Aim high” Testing Mind-Matter Interaction

  5. 100+ subjects 12 years 5 investigators 800K samples 1 laboratory

  6. What do the skeptics say? • Carl Sagan (1987) • ESP = the Loch Ness monster; flying saucers; an elephant that talks fluent Russian…. • Carl Sagan (1995) • There are three claims in the ESP field which deserve serious study: • 1) that by thought alone humans can affect random number generators

  7. RNG meta-analysis • 216 publications, 1959 – 2000 • journals, abstracts, unpublished reports, in all languages • 85 investigators • ~20 laboratories • 515 experiments

  8. RNG average Z 1959- 1987 1988-2000

  9. Summary: Evidence for Mind-Matter Interaction with RNGs • RNG results are in alignment with quantum measurement speculations • Results are not chance, poor quality, selective reporting, or non-repeatable • Effects are weak in magnitude • Effects are not force-like at the bit level, or simple causal mechanisms

  10. Prediction If mind and matter are related … … then fluctuations in “mass mind” might be reflected as fluctuations in “mass matter”

  11. October 1995 - OJ Simpson Verdict

  12. More ordered More random OJ Simpson Verdict odds against chance for behavior of 5 random number generators located in US (4) and Europe (1)

  13. An internet-based experiment … 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 ... “well-behaved” noise used to measure entropy

  14. Devices and Controls • High quality, EM-shielded, hardware RNGs • Randomness is based on quantum noise • Pass standard randomness tests • Analyses checked with pseudorandom database • Analyses checked by independent analysts

  15. Distribution of 1000 200-bit trials, compared to theoretical normal distribution expected

  16. Global Consciousness Project 50 truly random RNGs around the world Synchronized to net-time 200 bits / second / RNG  864 M bits / day http://noosphere.princeton.edu

  17. Events studied • Predictable events of mass interest • New Years celebrations, sports events • Unpredictable events of mass interest • Earthquakes, terrorist attacks • Formal predictions • Exploratory analyses

  18. Example formal events • Disaster Western Indian Earthquake • Disaster Volcanic Eruption, Congo • Meditation WorldPuja Webcast • Meditation Ramadan Muslim Prayer • Violence Terrorist Disaster, Sept 11 • Sports World Series, Yankee Stadium • Sports Winter Olympic Opening • Funeral George Harrison Tribute • Celebration Earth Day, 2001 • Celebration Beijing Gets 2008 Olympics • Celebration Buddhist Stupa Ceremony • Celebration New Year 2001-2002

  19. Full formal database105 global events over 3 years 9 months actual data p =.05 threshold chance expectation

  20. z score by event types

  21. September 11, 2001

  22. sliding window June 30,2001 – September 20,2001

  23. Formal predictions

  26. 6.5  drop Sept 11 detail

  27. Daily variance: 1998 - 2002 September 11, 2001

  28. September 11, 2001: 36 RNGs Average Daily RNG Intercorrelation metric = RIC

  29. r < 0 negative coherence relationship r = 0 zero coherence r > 0 positive coherence relationship RIC Asymmetry

  30. |RIC| RIC distribution and “coherence” positive coherence negative coherence

  31. RIC: Year 2001

  32. Effects of EM interference night day night All RNGs for the month of September 2001

  33. Towards generalization News analysis Date Length Events Description 12/1/2000 129 1 Mexico President Inaugurated 12/2/2000 0 0 - 12/3/2000 0 0 - 12/4/2000 463 2 Chilean Judge Orders Pinochet's Arrest, Europe Acts to Curb Mad Cow Disease www.infoplease.com

  34. RIC vs. News Year = 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 1998-2002 p = 0.100.02 0.38 0.01 0.56 0.002

  35. Outlier analysis How robust is this correlation? Does it depend on extreme values of news or |RIC|?

  36. |RIC| |RIC| news metric news metric Is the observed correlation meaningful? Cross correlation test May 2002 August 1998

  37. RIC vs. News cross correlation

  38. RIC vs. News cross-correlation odds

  39. RIC Cross Correlation Europe (12) vs. North America (27)

  40. Europe vs. USA odds

  41. News Spectral Analysis ln(1.95) = 7 days News events have a 7 day period

  42. News by day of the week

  43. News x RIC Cross Spectral Analysis News & RIC both have 7 day cycles. Are they in phase?

  44. RIC vs. news by weekday r = 0.63 t = 1.80 N = 7 p = 0.07

  45. Speculations Mind & Matter are complementary aspects of a more fundamental, self-reflective reality

  46. Mind Inside Matter Outside

  47. Conclusions • Laboratory MMI-RNG scales up • Support for Einstein’s Objection:God does not play dice with the universe • Future research: • Role of the analyst? • Improved global coherence (news) measures • Independent sources of random data • New types of “detectors” • Theoretical model development
