Coincidences

Here is something that everyone has probably seen before but I refered to it in a journal entry and thought I should include it in here. It is pretty bizarre.

Experiments at MIT

I don't know all the details of the experiments so I will just explain them to the best of my knowledge.
Experiments are being performed by MIT scientists on randomness and chance.
In one of these experiments they have observed that chance increases in favor of the observer when there is an observer. I believe they used an automated card game that should be completely random. The results changed significantly when there was a person observing it. Interesting. What is it about observing something that changes the outcome. If you are skeptical, read about the behavior of light sometimes. There are a lot of creepy things that go on in the universe that we don't understand yet.
Second experiment:
This one has been going on for several years around the world. Again, not to sure of the specifics but basically it involves random number generators in different countries. Scientists have discovered that these machines produce non random numbers for days following an event that affects a large part of the earths population. When something happens that receives a lot of media attention and a large percentage of the globe think along the same line it affects things in the physical world. Unrelated things.
September 11th and the anniversary a year later are two examples. For a few days following the numbers were not random. The scientists are speculating that there is such a thing as global consciousness.
Makes you wonder about the New York Lottery winning numbers 911 on the anniversary of 9-11. So many people were thinking about those numbers on the same day. So many people must have chosen those numbers. It also makes you wonder what other things are affected in the physical world when these things happen. The random number generators are just machines totally unrelated to the events. Just makes you wonder.
