July 23, 2006: Consciousness and Quantum Entanglement - Dean Radin
Key Moments
Open transcriptEggs spiked two hours before 9/11Radin explains the Global Consciousness Project egg network registered a sharp departure from randomness about two hours before the first plane hit the World Trade Center, and frames the system as a tsunami detector for an ocean of consciousness.
Entanglement and bilocationRadin explains entanglement: any two particles that interact remain connected as if a single object in two places, including the IBM ghost-image effect, and warns that trying to grasp it in common sense terms will fail.
Tsunamis in the ocean of consciousnessAsked whether mass intention could be used proactively, Radin answers yes, but warns of unintended consequences, the canceling-out of competing prayer groups, and that peace means different things to a Palestinian and an Israeli.
Coherence beats numbersRadin says it isn't the size of a meditating group that matters but its coherence, citing the field-consciousness tradition and the 2004 Red Sox World Series as a city-sized example of being 'in the zone.'
fMRI catches presentiment in the amygdalaRadin describes about half a dozen fMRI studies localizing psi effects: the amygdala lights up before an emotional target appears, and the receiver's occipital lobe activates when a distant sender sees a light flash.
Radin reveals that analysis of 51 sudden, unexpected events shows the random network begins shifting approximately two hours before the events occur, suggesting a form of collective precognition. By comparing earthquakes in populated versus unpopulated zones, researchers determined the effect correlates with human populations rather than geological forces alone. Regional analysis of 9-11 data showed the strongest deviations on the east coast of the United States.
The conversation explores quantum entanglement and its implications for consciousness research, including quantum computers that could operate millions of times faster than current technology. Art and Radin discuss the potential of directed mass consciousness, referencing Art nine successful on-air experiments. Radin confirms the effect is real but warns of unintended consequences, comparing it to a home team advantage for the entire planet that could be mobilized in a global crisis.
