‘Collective Thoughts Change Events’, Data, Proof

Thoughts do change Events or you may say influence events.

Any action that we perceive is what is made perceptible to us in our levels,in our present case Physical.

Of the innumerable permutations and combinations those which are collectively thought of are projected to be perceived at the appropriate plane.

Institute of Noetic Sciences have conducted elaborate experiments on this subject and with a special reference to a ‘Man Burning suddenly’

I posted a blog on this.

Following is the Excerpt from IONS.

Have you ever experienced a time when the collective enthusiasm of a large event seemed to rise to such a peak that you could almost feel a crackle in the air? Or felt a haunting sense in the air while visiting a place that caused sadness or suffering for thousands of people? Provocative evidence suggests that there are significant departures from chance expectation in the outputs of random number generators (electronic devices that produce truly random bits, or sequences of zeros and ones) during times of collective upheaval, global crises and major celebrations.

..This year, the Institute of Noetic Sciences, along with several collaborators, conducted an exploratory experiment at Black Rock City, the temporary city created each year in the Nevada desert for the festival known asBurning Man. Burning Man is a week-long event that attracts upwards of 50,000 people. It is unique in its concentrated intensity, isolation, and collective intention, culminating with the burning of a large man-shaped effigy at the center of Black Rock City on Saturday night. See this article in the Atlantic magazine to get a feeling for the event, or these pictures in Rolling Stonemagazine…

Our experiment tested the prediction that a random number generator (RNG) placed on the playa would demonstrate significant deviation from randomness during the period of highest collective intensity, i.e., during the burning of the man. In addition, the Global Consciousness Project (GCP) made a prediction that their global network of random number generators would also show a deviation from randomness. That prediction was based in part on a previously successfulexploratory analysis that examined the average of eight years of global RNG data at the time of Burning Man (1999 – 2006)…

Results

Hypothesis 1. As shown in Figure 1, the RNG located on the playa showed a statistically significant deviation with modest odds against chance of 57 to 1, based on two-tailed probabilities, some 8 minutes after the moment of ignition (the flames died down about 10 minutes after ignition). The bootstrap analysis showed that this outcome, or better, would have occurred by chance with a probability of p = 0.004, confirming Hypothesis 1.
