You might be thinking of the university experiement where they supposedly teleported a laser beam.

Shame on Princeton.

Trouble is, if you changed the past, how would you know? Thats why it's being done using some statistical methods. So far, the results are not all that encouraging.

I tried it, and was pretty good at it.

The retropsychokinesis project.

I have read of that before, really weird. Had that "egg" display running on the PC for a while. Lots of strange things can happen in the quantum world. You wonder if some sort of echo occurs back through time from a momentous event. In the quantum world lots of bizarre implications occur. For example, a virtual particle being created might happen forward in time and this is equivalent to a particle being destroyed going backward in time. There is no difference at all (grossly oversimplified but I think I read it in QED - Quantum Electrodynamics by Richard Feynmann -- could be wrong).

>>There have also been some honest attempts (and as far as the science is concerned, no one can prove it's impossible) to change the past.<<

Actually, there have been successful dishonest attempts to change the past. . . .(wait for it)

Its aim is to detect whether all of humanity shares a single subconscious mind that we can all tap into without realising.

It must. That`s the only reason I can come up with why Ashlee Simpson has a career. Currently the collective mind is completely and utterly tone deaf.

They claim that by using rigorous scientific techniques and powerful mathematics it is possible to exclude any such random connections.

Yeah, the t-test. Very powerful mathematics. BWAHAHAhahahahahahaha!

When the box prints out something more specific than a curved line - ???Something is going to happen??? – I will get excited.

[djf]

Alot of that is related to Bell's works. Nonlocality does not necessarily mean spatial, it can also be temporal.

A scientific method of proving predestination.

Call it “The God Box”?

Sounds like this machine could be the basis of a DemocRAT Social Security plan.

We'll just do nothing until the machine starts spitting out zeros, and then we'll know SS has gone broke and then we'll deal with it.

That will be my luck. Just when I pick the winning number, so will a million other people – and I’ll collect about $1.35.

"They had, it appeared, detected that an event of historic importance was about to take place before the terrorists had even boarded their fateful flights."

Fascinating. I very much believe in the universal subconscious, and this article is very interesting. I remember my actions on 9/11 as if seeing myself in a movie. It was the most marvelously beautiful day. It was the kind of day that made you glad to be alive. Amazing, but it must be true, of course there was already a great disturbance in the universal subconcious before those slime boarded the planes, their hearts were already dark with murder.

Good find and great post.

First, you slaughter an animal ~ in a ritual.

Then you examine the entrails ~ keep a sharp eye on the condition of the liver.

Eventually something will happen.

Strange stuff PING, "just because". ;)
