Seeing the Future

The article below mentions the Global Consciousness Project group (at Princeton) which I ran across a couple of years ago at the former sTaRe blog and thought it was quite remarkable stuff at the time.

I'm pretty sure my mind just expanded a few more notches after reading through this even though I'm still scratching my head about how it all "works". Fascinating stuff, really...

A "black box" random number generator apparently has properties of prediction...

At first glance it is an unremarkable piece of equipment. Encased in metal, it contains at its heart a microchip no more complex than the ones found in modern pocket calculators.

The machine apparently sensed the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre four hours before they happened - but in the fevered mood of conspiracy theories of the time, the claims were swiftly knocked back by sceptics.

Now, even the doubters are acknowledging that here is a small box with apparently inexplicable powers.
