June 26, 2009: Psi Research - Dean Radin
Key Moments
Open transcriptWhy psi research scares peopleRadin explains why mass-consciousness work unsettles even researchers - if intentions can push the world around, the implications reach into telepathy and the privacy of thought itself.
Universities researching psi in secretRadin says prominent universities are running psi research programs but keep them under near-military secrecy because the academic taboo is so strong.
Distance may matter for psi after allGCP data shows random generators close to a major event correlate more strongly than distant ones, breaking a long-standing assumption that psi is distance-independent.
EGGs detect earthquakes hours before they strikeAnalyst Peter Bancel revisited 10 years of GCP data and found land-based magnitude-6 quakes show a significant deviation in the random network two-to-eight hours before the event - with no signal for ocean quakes.
Casino jackpots rise during the full moonRadin obtained four years of Las Vegas table and slot data and found players win a few percent more during full moons - when Earth's geomagnetic field is quieter because the moon sits in the magnetotail.
Radin explains the surprising discovery that random number generators detect precursor signals two to eight hours before major earthquakes on land masses, while showing virtually no response to undersea quakes. He also shares his analysis of Las Vegas casino data, which suggests players win slightly more during full moons when the geomagnetic field is quieter, supporting a link between magnetic conditions and psi ability.
The discussion extends to a commercially available random number generator from Psyleron that allows individuals to conduct their own field consciousness experiments. Art and Dean also explore the sheep-goat effect, where prior belief strongly influences experimental outcomes, and the challenge this poses for traditional scientific repeatability.
