I thought it was pretty neat too. I would have liked to have see these graphs that spike before and after and if they ever get slopes/spikes when there is no obvious global event. Also how long there is a spike on their random number generators.

Do they have a web site that displays a realtime graph or anything? I need to know when to start freaking out...

I have found that TV Guide will alert you to what will happen up to 2 weeks into the future.

I always find it fascinating that scientists and people, neither of which understand more than the very basics of what goes on on and in planet Earth, Scientists and people who cannot with any certainty define consciousness, much less explain it, can say with absolute conviction that things like this are ‘impossible.’

They may well be and this is all hogwash. Or it may be real. But we are not even smart enough to ask the right questions much less provide definitive answers. See Galileo and the comparative science of his day vs ours for more on this subject.

If you could get me the winning Power Ball numbers out of that machine, I would be most grateful and become an instant true believer.

it’s not predicting the future but more like reading the effects of a shock experienced by groups of people

it’s extremely interesting

This is not science. This is what you find on the ground after a male bovine finishes his meal.

NO, you do not expect it to be a flatline. The only thing we can say is that if you have a perfectly random generator producing numbers for an infinite time, there will tend to be an equal number of occurrences of each possibility.

A computer is a deterministic machine. No computer can ever produce a truly random sequence. Throwing balls or flipping coins is not perfectly random either.

The passage of electrons from one energy state to another is the nearest we can come to truly random.

No mind of God. No predicting the future. No sophisticated technology (most programming languages have pseudo-random generators)

An infinite time is that which you never reach.

There is so much wrong with that article that I have to stop reading it.

That was interesting. I wish they had told more about time moving backwards. It sounds more like a sixth sense then predicting the future.

Maybe a sense we lost when Eve went a dining

May the farce be with you, laddy. I put all my money into antigravity boots so that should they not work I’ll still have shoes to wear.

Interesting but not wholly convincing, at least not as laid out in the article. To me, examples after the fact mean little. Show me instances where they have come out and said "whoa, we have some unusual spikes here which indicate something big is about to happen" and then something big does happen.

Nor are we informed how many false positives there may have been. Or do they normally only check the readings after a huge event?

Also, the tsunami example doesn't seem to hold together well. It states that the readings began to shift 24 hours in advance of the tsunami, then alludes to how this correlates to unusual activities of animals around this time ("fleeing for their lives"). It goes on to say that very few animals died.

That piqued my curiosity, so i did an internet search which turned up this article and it calls such statements into question. Furthermore, if animals have this ability to peer into the future, then why do so many get killed in forest fires or caught in traps or else are hunted to extinction?

Yes, it could be that some animals feel vibrations in the earth (or whatever the case may be) and this is what tells them to run for their lives...but that's not what the article is getting at. It is suggesting that somehow we (humans and animals) are able to foretell the future because time moves both forward and backward.

That brings up another difficulty. The animals supposedly can see the disaster, so they escape. Then why couldn't Princess Diana (who was mentioned in the article) have seen her disaster? Or why couldn't the 9-11 victims (also mentioned) have sensed that something awful was about to happen and decided en masse to call in sick that day? Is it that animals are better than humans in this respect, even though we have survived and thrived while so many of them have become extinct?

They’ve talked about this quite a bit on Coast to Coast AM over the years. It’s interesting stuff. I’d really have to see the raw numbers that they are looking at though. If I recall correctly, they look backwards at events, and are able to show a ‘correlation’ to big, global events. I’d like to see the same scrutiny applied to random date/times to see if it really is a genuine correlation.

This old and debunked. Its interesting, but it means nothing and the reported data is all hand picked.
