The results of a number of experiments have suggested that a
"group" consciousness might exist. The Global Consciousness Project
was established to test this hypothesis. The idea was to set up Random Event
Generators (REGs) all over the world and have them run continuously, and
compare their output at moments of global events with the greatest emotional
impact. After an analysis of four years worth of data, a pattern in the REG
readings emerged: when people reacted with great emotional intensity to a major
event, the REG machines seemed to react as well. The degree of
“order” in the REG machines’ output matched the emotional
intensity of the events: the greater the emotional intensity, the greater the
order. This effect was found most pronounced during the attacks of September 11
2001. Interestingly, the machines output became increasingly ordered a few
hours before the first tower was hit.
Researchers have suggested that 6 billion minds experienced a mass premonition.

In
principle a REG can be anything that generates random events. RNGs (Random
Number Generators) are considered as type of REG. Typically a sequence of tones
or "white noise" is the event of an REG. The REG is calibrated
and guaranteed to produce a "random" output. The REG does not
sense events, but rather is placed in populated areas, and is effected by the
thoughts people give off. Robert Jahn found people could influence the
computer bits on PCs by their thoughts; it's basically the same
thing. Hi emotional levels decrease the randomness, or increase the
order, of the REG output. Of course the measurement is all done electronically.
