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

Considering the size of population of data coming from dozens of machines continuously pumping out ones and zeroes I doubt the "powerful mathematcs" <ROFL> of the t-test is even relevant. Their probably talking about a new "powerful mathematcs" which we couldn't possibly understand and that they are unable to disclose for fear of ridicule from a totally unfair scientific community. :rolleyes:

Nonlocality does not necessarily mean spatial, it can also be temporal.

When the issue of Scientific American came out 10 or 15 years ago with the nonlocality article, I stretched out in a hot tub with the magazine and read the article three or four times. First I'd heard of such a thing.

What a set of nutjobs!

How do they know the "unrandomness" at times wasn't a predictor of something yet to happen ten years into the future but was only ascribed to a current event?

By the way, there are no true digital random number generator chips. They all must be "seeded" with a number from which to continue to calculate.

Random numbers on your Windows machines are not random, either. Given the same seed, you always get the same result.

Hmmmmm.... BUMP.

Strange and interesting.

I read some time ago, that they put electrodes on plants and found that they responded to music being played and people's emotions who were near.

Maybe there is some electromagnetic impulse being created, which could influence some sensitive machines.

But having some indication that "something" may happen is still a long way to really predicting, what and where.

But it is certainly intersting.

When I first read Bell's inequality, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

A smart tenth grader can understand it, and the implications are mind-numbing.

Actually, how do you explain THESE, which could have been premonitions of 9-11, several months in advance:

Strange Dream

http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3afb2dd83fb4.htm

05/10/2001 17:10:00 PDT by semaj


"I had a dream that was very strange. Everything was black and white and there was no sound to be heard. In the dream the sky was cloudless and it seemed to be a few hours after midday. Everything was calm and there were no birds in the sky. From where I stood I looked up and could see numerous crisscrossing contrails from jetliners traveling high in the sky. To my amazement and horror, for no apparent reason, the planes began falling from the sky. I could not determine the reason for this, as the aircraft appeared to be intact, and there was no indication of distress or damage to any of them. As they impacted the ground numerous fires were started and I could see the smoke from many of them in the distance all around. Suddenly there was a bright flash from the western horizon. My instincts told me to seek protective shelter. I managed to find cover by laying in a drain culvert just as a tremendous blast wave filled with all manner of litter and debris roared overhead"

====

And an even more eerie one on the same thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3afb2dd83fb4.htm#16

I've had the following dream at least twice involving an airliner:

I dreamed I was in downtown Boston and a Boeing 747 flew into the John Hancock tower. For those unfamiliar with Boston, the John Hancock tower is a 60 story glass building - the tallest skyscraper in Boston at 790 feet.

Anyway, in the dream, I'm walking past the Boston Public Library towards Copley Place and I look up in the sky and see this 747 coming in low to the ground. It crashes into the building up near the top so that the nose section is sticking out one end and the tail section is jutting out of the other. The wings shear off and fall to the ground.

Strangely enough, nobody around me seems to react to this seemingly catastrophic event. People just go on walking as usual. However, several fire trucks and police cars nonchalantly approach the building and begin to commence rescue operations. None of the rescue personnel appear to be in much of a hurry. It's almost like they are carrying out a tired, routine drill.

However, I can hear distant screams from the airplane above as I approach the building. Sort of like the screams you hear from a distant roller coaster. People up there are screaming but nobody down below seems to be paying very much attention.

After waking from this dream (I've had it at least twice), I can't seem to get myself together right away. The eerie feeling persists for an hour or two and I can't get the sound of the distant screams out of my head nor the vision of the airliner pierced like an arrow through the John Hancock building in Boston.

OK, I'll have to look up Bell's Inequality, having forgotten it by name.

A scientific method of proving predestination.
Of course, it was meant to be that way.

And the predestination-detecting machine is in Scotland. Isn't Calvinism popular there?

There was a young lady named Bright,
Who travelled much faster than light.
She left one day
In the relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

The pattern of ones and noughts - 'heads' and 'tails' as it were - could then be printed out as a graph. The laws of chance dictate that the generators should churn out equal numbers of ones and zeros - which would be represented by a nearly flat line on the graph. Any deviation from this equal number shows up as a gently rising curve.

If it is truly random (wonder how that works since the computer had to be programed by someone)than it is conceivable that it will randomly produce a string with a greater number of "heads" than "tails" or vice versa.
This over time will create the flat line he is talking about.The problem is no one knows how long that time must be to see the flat line,ie;one minute,one day,one month and so on.
Any change in the perspective will alter how straight that line is.

In his book "Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics", he talks about a French guy named Bertelman who always wears two different colored socks.

This looks to be a good online description

I can't get the realtime display to work right now. Must be a Java problem. Someone else try.
