On the other hand, there are lots of conspiracies.

Awesome Read.

in the mid 1980's there were over 2 dozen scientists and researchers who worked on the american strategic defense initiative that were all murdered. It all happened over a 6 month period, it started with Europeans being killed, then after a few months they came and killed some americans. Not a single one of the murders was ever solved. These killings today follow that pattern.

What are the odds that the authoress of this article, will use the same sources on probability theory, randomness, chance patterns in noise, and such ... to argue against the "junk science" output of the environmentalists who unashamedly find cataclysmic connections between events in nature, which strangely parallel with their political ambitions; both "bodies of knowledge" discovered in the noise of their very own echo-chamber?

Who --- that echo-chamber ensemble of environmentalists --- by the way, have no similar "environmental impact statement" such as the "bizarre circumstances" of the bio-professionals in the above story?

Not to mention: You may wonder what other groups of scientifica there are ... and how they have fared lately --- the "double-blind" thing and all?

Yet of course, there are the dozens of people around Bill Clinton who dropped like flies; they are no doubt the chance measuring stick with which to mark off the others.

It is absolutely true that we have an instinctive urge to find patterns. One need only look to the skies on a dark night to notice the constellations.

These constellations are unique to earth. If you were viewing the skies from a planet orbiting Betelgeuse in the Orion constellation, you would see entire different constellations, even if you were looking at the same stars as here on earth.

Interesting article.

I thought that number was now 14? How many world class bio-scientists are there that 14 is random?

When I was employed in the (former US) nuclear industry, one of my favorite butts-of-jokes was the "Prospero Program: Random functions of Arbitrary Variables".

(...or was it the other way around?)

The utility I worked for used this algorithm to disprove the obvious. Example: Using this program, the probability of the sun rising tomorrow was calculated as 0.37.

Mike, you should include this formula in the next addition of your book, Electricity Comes From Walls c1995.

terrorists could have pulled this off, or someone hired by terrorists. shrugging something like this off reminds me of the intel community shrugging off info known about al-queda before 9/11.

Come on man, the article has just explained that it must be a co-incidence. Just like the string of accidents which overcame the weapons people working on the Iraqi super-gun project.

Of course, I can understand you seeing it that way, at first. Why, I myself got all caught up in conspiracy theories, last year, when three airplanes hit three buildings in the US, all in one day. I got overinvolved and thought it MUST be connected. But now, looking back, and with the help of this article, I realise that air accidents are common, planes hit buildings lots of times, and Sept 11 is just another day of the year.

Do you have a link? Who do you think whacked em?

regarding the 2 dozen plus scientists and researchers murdered in mid 1980's, they were mostly Europeans. I read about it in National Review at the time and another article in arizona republic about an ASU researcher on that project who went missing. It is believed that KGB did the job back in those days.

Regarding the recent deaths of these scientists, we don't know what's happening for sure. In the 80's with those SDI scientists whoever was killing them was making it obvious in Europe at least who was killing them because none of them was robbed, and they died in spectacular ways, definitely killed by professionals.

I'd say if anyone was killing these scientists of today in an organized fashion, then it would be CIA.

Well, for one thing, they're not all "world-class bio-scientists" nor did all of them work with anything that could be used in biowar; though worthless garbage sites like Rense.com, the popularizers of the whole thing, repeatedly omit or twist facts to make it all seem more ominous.

HA the CIA has about the killing skills of the boy scouts.

[Red Jones]

tell the branch davidians of waco that the CIA can't kill anyone. A CIA man named Wilcher told journalists that it was CIA who orchestrated that. He told them this 6 weeks before he died.

[ASDFGHJK]

the first paragraphs are a contradiction. that the second series may be random does not mean that the first one is. Puh-leez. Junk science. Or was he just kidding? I didn't bother to read past that part.

ROTFLMAO!
