I just read a interesting article about experiments being conducted by the Global Consciousness Project, hosted by Princeton University. Researchers there have assembled a black box random number generator, which seems to have predicted recent major world events including 9/11 and the recent Asian tusnumi.
The premise behind this assertion is that the probability of generated random numbers (in this case a binary 1 or 0) are skewed far beyond normal deviation during times of intense human concentration. A fascinating look at how science approaches the paranormal.
