What is The Global Consciousness Project?
Following on from my post about micro-PK research, this seems like a good opportunity to discuss the Global Consciousness Project, which originated at Princeton University in 1998.
In a nutshell, the GCP is an international collaborative effort that uses a network of RNGs dotted around the world to purportedly measure Global Consciousness effects.
Each RNG is referred to as an Egg, and there are more than sixty of them spread across the globe. From the Americas to Europe and Africa. From Asia to Australasia.

Each Egg is sampled at 200 bits per second, and the activity of each Egg is fed back to a central computer which puts the data together - to give a state of the system as a whole.
You can see the behaviour of the Eggs here
In turn, there is a data analysis graph that is close to real-time here
Researchers (although anyone can download the experimental data) then look to see whether the network takes on some form of structure during significant world events. Obviously, there are two ways forward here.
1. You make a prediction that the network is likely to behave in a less random way during an expected upcoming event (e.g. something like a Football World Cup Final where lots of people will be watching the same event).
2. When something unexpected happens (a natural disaster perhaps), you can look back to see if the GCP’s network activity changed in conjunction with the event.
Anyway there’s lots of excellent information and analysis covering lots of world events at the GCP website.
