The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) is an international and multidisciplinary collaboration project that generates and collects random numbers continuously from a network of physical random number generators. The random numbers re generated using quantum tunnelling techniques and the hypothesis underlying the GCP is that events which elicit widespread emotion or draw the simultaneous attention of large numbers of people may affect the output of the hardware generated random numbers in a statistically significant way. Thus, the hypothesis underlying the GCP is that such physically generated random numbers could be affected by large emotional events in a way that gets “picked up” and made visible in the numbers. Here I present research done on its data.
