November 27, 2001: Random Number Generators - Dean Radin

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Dean Radin, senior scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, to discuss the Global Consciousness Project and its network of random number generators placed around the world. The conversation centers on the remarkable data recorded by these devices on September 11, 2001, when the generators showed a dramatic spike in non-random behavior that began hours before the attacks even occurred.

Dr. Radin explains how decades of research into the connection between mind and matter led scientists to focus on random noise as the most sensitive indicator of consciousness effects. He describes how the project uses 37 devices called "eggs" distributed globally to detect coherent shifts in randomness that correlate with major world events. The discussion covers the paradox that publicity about the project itself can compromise its effectiveness as a monitoring tool.

Art shares his own experiences with the Princeton ShapeShifter program and his controversial mass consciousness experiments that appeared to produce rain in drought-stricken areas. Dr. Radin offers insights into the relationship between geomagnetic fields and psychic performance, and introduces his online psi-testing platform at GotPsi.com, which has attracted over 34,000 participants from 106 countries.
