1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,280
There are 500 events in the formal series. Some of them definitely stand out. The one that most

2
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:28,360
people know about and to me is also you know deserving of the rank high on the list of those

3
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:36,700
things most impressive was from 9-11 that September 11th in 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and

4
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:44,800
Washington and like so many people I remember what I was doing which was having a cup of coffee in the

5
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,920
morning and my and the radio was on they said oh a plane crashed into one of the trade towers and I

6
00:00:50,920 --> 00:01:00,760
of course thought immediately there was a somebody a private plane lost consciousness or wasn't aware

7
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,540
or wanted to commit suicide but very soon it became clear this was of course a completely

8
00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:15,520
different kind of thing it was a as I sometimes think of it it was a shredding of the social

9
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:25,480
contracts we tore up something that everybody believes is in in place it was just destroyed

10
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:33,460
so of course there was also the destruction of the towers and all of that and anyway there was

11
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:40,780
no question in my mind but what that would be synchronized emotions fear and anger and anguish

12
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:51,280
and and then gradually it would shift into things like compassion and sadness and a kind of hopeful

13
00:01:51,280 --> 00:02:00,280
attempt to somehow make sense of it and all of that in any case there were beat there would be

14
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:08,140
millions and millions and millions of people all synchronized so we set up the tests and found that

15
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:17,020
the data were indeed not normal random data but instead had structure and we did a lot of analysis

16
00:02:17,020 --> 00:02:27,160
eventually just learned that that structured changes in the data they those persisted for about three days

17
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,380
and most of the time when something changes in our data it's a little blip but this was three days of

18
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:43,620
persistent difference from the expected behavior and we looked at different measures and they all showed

19
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:59,260
some kind of serious change so in the middle of this graph are the events of the day of 9-11 the first plane

20
00:02:59,260 --> 00:03:27,260
hitting the tower the second plane hitting another tower the attack in Washington and then the buildings collapsing all that is in a little period of time here this red curve shows what the eggs we call them the global consciousness project network data we're doing normal for quite a few hours and then at four in the morning which is about four and a half hours before the first plane hit

21
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:55,260
this change became very very highly deviant and continued to be deviant until 11 or 12 o'clock at which time all those events weren't finished and then the same trace dropped just as fast as it had gone up so we have a kind of mountain of data here in the surrounding the event begins before the events nominal

22
00:03:55,260 --> 00:04:20,260
and we don't have a real explanation for that unless it's that a global consciousness might have premonitions and this was a terrible event it led to a historical changes in the way in the world so it would not be surprising if there is a global consciousness that it could have a premonition about this terrible event

23
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:47,260
it was a big event and so we thought about it and there are two things that might correspond with four or five hours earlier one of them is the fact that there were a lot of terrorists 20 or so were getting ready to die they were saying their last prayers they were on their way to the airport at four in the morning and

24
00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:56,260
and um there were probably 50 or 100 other people in the terrorist network and knew about it and they

25
00:04:56,260 --> 00:05:10,260
they were awake and waiting but i don't think that's really likely the explanation instead just as human beings have premonitions quite a few people report that they

26
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:19,260
they they were driving and they stopped or slowed down pulled over and then they went on and discovered there was a crash at the intersection they would have been

27
00:05:19,260 --> 00:05:37,260
in they might have been killed so and people have dreams that predict things that happen the next day why wouldn't a giant global consciousness composed of all of us

28
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:46,260
communicating and living in compassion with each other why wouldn't that have a premonitory capacity
