It's a prayer detector!!!! ;-)
Old stuff. Coast to Coast has covered this for years..
This might be interesting if there were some testable hypotheses. Like, "The black box will generate a higher-than-normal number of 0s before a major earthquake." You can test that - either it holds true or it doesn't. Otherwise, we just have a magic box. Big deal, I have magic shoes that fly me to the moon every night. You just can't see me.
"I sense a great disturbance in the Force."
Interesting. People may scoff, but I personally know someone who quite regularly, and quite accurately, sees into the future. Not kidding.
Although many would consider the project's aims to be little more than fools' gold
Put me in the fools gold category please.
Wonder if they'd let me take it to Vegas...
Wonder if it can tell us who's going to win the Super Bowl?
"Again and again, entirely ordinary people proved that their minds could influence the machine and produce significant fluctuations on the graph, 'forcing it' to produce unequal numbers of 'heads' or 'tails'."
BS. Doesn't work on slot machines for spit.

I've got one of those in my closet next to my 1959 Nikon F1.
The differnce is I can actually do something with the Nikon.
If it is electronics it is not a Random Event Generator, it is a Pseudo Random Event Generator.
We may be connected together far more intimately than we realise.
Our entire cosmos was once smaller than a proton. That puts everything in the cosmos, then and now, into reasonably close connection, I'd say...
BTTT
Unless I missed it, the article does not mention anytime the deviated from the expected and nothing happened.
But of course if you have the entire world to pull an event from, is there ever a time that "nothing happens"?
Every so often, my cable connection goes out. Normally it is very reliable, and if I was to plot it on a graph, it would be a straight line, but if I then at as a spike or a curve the times it goes out, would it mean anything?
If I were to then go looking for a major event anywhere in the world, and find something happened somewhere, would I be able to say, my cable service can predict the future?
I am not an expert, but I thought if you had a radom event of just two choices (heads or tails) over time the number of heads and the number of tails should equal. It does not mean they will always be equal at every snap shot of the count, but over time they will equal. The fact that heads comes up 100 times in a row is possible without any outside influence, and at some point in time 100 tails could also occur. Over time the two cancel each other out, and the number of heads that appear and the number of tails remain similar.
These people should go to Las Vegas and talk to people who really know about odds.
