- RDN, pred. 1998-09-11, before the
event: An American event, but with some significance to the world. The Clinton affair
rises to a new height of public scrutiny with planned publication of Grand Jury report on
the web, sometime in the afternoon of 98-09-11, assuming the congress approves this unique
public display of "evidence" without response by the defendant. We will look at
the point event surrounded by minimal data blocks (+/- 15 min), and look also at the
premath/aftermath of 1 hour/3 hours. SAS reports that the "referral" was
released to the media "officially" at 14:00 EDT, and hit the web at 15:54.
Hand calculation: No significant departure. Event: Chi-square 14.72, 10 df, p = 0.14.
Note: This event was specified, but inadvertently not included in the Results table until
the error was reported by Eckhard Etzold in October 2002.
Notes on analysis in response to a question: The formal analysis was for
the period of 30 mins
surrounding the "publication time", specifically, the period
from 20:45 to 21:15 on Sept 11 1998. There were five eggs
reporting, thus 10 df. The Chisquare (sum of the Z^2 for
the 15 min blocks was 14.722).
- RDN, pred. 1998-10-06, before
the event: "Nothing to Fear" A Global Peace Vigil to Collectively Affirm the
Power of Love. Friday, November 13, 1998 9:30 to 9:45 p.m. Eastern Time. Instructions
break the 15 minute period into three 5 minute periods. In the present case, I predict a
positive result of small magnitude, distributed across the 15 minutes. A more recent
communication of the same group specifies a time of 11:11 on the 11th of November as a
time for meditation, but with no period indicated. Based on the general approach, the 15
minute period including 11:11, will be assessed, i.e., 11:00 to 11:15, with a prediction
of a small positive effect.
Hand calculation: No significant departure. Event 1: Chi-square 6.328, 5 df, p = 0.276,
Event 2: Chi-square 5.839, 5 df, p = 0.322, Combined: Chi-square 12.167, 10 df, p = 0.274.
- RDN, pred.
1998-12-07, before the event: (This prediction stimulated by a visit from members of the World Peace Prayer Society.) On
December 10 1998 the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights will be
celebrated at the UN beginning at 9 am continuing until Pavarotti sings from 8 to 9:15 in
the evening. The UN
website offers detail. I will predict a small positive deviation of composite
Chi-square from expectation, with a peak beginning at 6:30 PM for the first hour of a
Special Event including an introduction of the Human Rights Prize awardees and the launch
of the United Nations Website of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 250
languages. (Times are EST, add 5 hours for UTC) In August, 1999, finally able to do the
analysis for the one-hour period, resulting in Chisquare 26.402, 28 df, p = 0.551.
- RDN, pred. Conjunction of Venus
and Jupiter, 1999-02-23, about 4 PM EST = about 21:00. Not sure how to predict, but I'll
try this: Conjunction time plus or minus a day or two, with a prediction also of
concentration of deviation closer, say plus or minus an hour, roughly. Check these in 15
minute blocks and in the variance as a function of blocksize.
Note: This event is not included in the Results table, but there was
no explanation until the error was reported by Eckhard Etzold in
October 2002. The reason is that the prediction was too vague. No
analysis for this event ever was done.
- RDN: Pred 21 March, 1999, prior
to the Oscars (Academy Awards) show, to be broadcast at 20:00 for the "preshow"
and 20:30 for the Oscar show proper. (01:00 and 01:30 on 22 March UTC.) Based on earlier
events assessed by Dean Radin, the prediction is that periods of presentation will be
associated with deviations, while commercial breaks will be flat. Times of the
presentations vs commercial breaks will be noted by RDN.
Note: This event is not included in the Results table, but there was
no explanation until the error was reported by Eckhard Etzold in
October 2002. The reason is that the notation of timing for commercial
breaks was not done (I could not watch the show). No
analysis for this event ever was done.
- Suzanne Taylor: Pred 5
April, 1999, in email note:
"This is to bring to your attention a 2-minute a day prayer for the Kosovo
situation. It is taking place at noon PST, simultaneously all over the
world. Marianne Williamson was the spokesperson who announced this, in an
hour long broadcast from the Internet on Saturday. It is to go on for one
month, which makes the end date May 3." This is an implicit prediction for some coherence
generated by the organized prayer, comprising 2 minutes per day over 31 days. The combined
Chisquare for the corresponding data was 383.11, with 360 degrees of freedom and a p-value
of 0.193, positive, but not significant.

Victor Kraak, 1999-04-29:
I'd like to make a prediction for the GCP, based on the
ending of the five-year interim autonomy period agreed in the Oslo
peace accords with Israel and the PLO. Although this morning I learned
that Arafat delayed his declaration of Palestina as an independent
state until June (instead of making a declaration at the fourth of
May, as was feared and assumed), I still think that this official
moment will cause a substantial amount of "resonance" under
Palestinian and Israeli people. The magnitude of a five-year autonomy
will weigh heavily on a lot of people that are involved.
As a concrete prediction I think that the activity of EGGs all over the
world will be less random on the 4th of May 1999 from 00:00 hrs
to 0:15 hrs Israeli time (UTC time: 22:00-22:15 hrs on the 3rd of May)
compared to the activity of the EGGs one day earlier during the same
time interval (so: 3rd of May 00:00-00:15 Israeli time => [will show
greater cumulative deviation than] 2nd of May
22:00-22:15 UTC time).
[Using the standard procedure, we also will
predict, for exploration, larger deviation compared
with theoretical expectation.]
I first considered that perhaps one hour before
the 4th of May could be more loaded with "global tension", because
everybody is waiting to see whether things will remain quiet. However,
I reasoned that more attention will be directed to and after the
moment of actual/official autonomy ending.
Analysis: During the predicted period, 22:00 to 22:15 on 3 May, 1999 UTC, 15 eggs were
running, and their composite Chisquare = 24.712, with 15 degrees of freedom, and p = 0.054,
which is marginally significant relative to expectation (the standard analysis). Kraak's
prediction relative to the data taken one day earlier is also correct: 22:00 to 22:15 on 2
May has Chisquare 18.819, 14 df, p = 0.172.
NOTE: Several weeks after the event and the analysis, Kraak sent a note
indicating he had made a mistake in the date, and that the actual ceramony took place on the 5th
rather than the 4th of May, and according to his analysis, the GCP data taken at the correct time
were not significantly deviant. The original analysis may thus be added to the various indications
that an "experimenter effect" must be given serious consideration as an important contributor to the
GCP results.

Jiri Wackermann, pred. approx 1998-04: Eclipse of the Sun, 11 August 1999.
Several people have in the meantime provided some detailed elements for this prediction.
In addition, astrologers describe an "inauspicious" conjunction of 5 planets including
the Sun and Moon in the eclipse configuration, Mars, Saturn, and Uranus (I think) forming
a cross. The specific GCP prediction is a composite of the suggestions made by several people.
Wackermann, Walker, Etzold, and Bierman all intend to examine this as a European event since
the path of totality is primarily there. Details may be found at a
NASA site.
The eclipse will be visible in Britain, France, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria,
Hungary and Romania, then progresses to Turkey, Iran, and India.
The Moon's umbral shadow passes Cornwall at 10:11 UTC
and will enter Turkey at 11:21 UT. The instant of greatest eclipse is at
11:03:04 in Romania north of Bucharest, where the duration of totality will be
2 minutes and 22 seconds. Etzold predicts a medium positive deviation of
composite Chi-square for the European EGGs for the time interval of
10:00 UTC to 11:00 UTC. Bierman also wishes to study the behavior of the
European eggs before, during and after the eclipse, predicting extra variance
during the eclipse. Bierman specifically intends to explore the behavior of
European vs US data.
The eclipse begins in the North Atlantic at 09:30:57 UT, with the first major landfall at 10:10 UT.
London experiences partiality with magnitude 0.968.
India is the last nation in the path, with the eleven million inhabitants
of Calcutta witnessing a 0.879 magnitude partial eclipse with the Sun 2° above
the western horizon. The shadow sweeps into the Bay of Bengal and back into space at
12:36:23 UT. Over the course of 3 hours and 7 minutes, the Moon's umbra travels along a path
approximately 14000 kilometers long, covering 0.2% of Earth's surface area.
The formal GCP prediction is for increased variance in 2 minute blocks over the period of about three
hours when the eclipse is partially visible anywhere on earth, from 09:30 to 12:36 UT. We will
compare data from Europe and India against that from US and elsewhere, predicting larger deviations
in the European group.

Although this is rather private material, I think it is important to look at the data around
some times where I have been affected by concerns for my mother, who yesterday (990831) had
surgery to remove a possibly cancerous lump. I first learned there was a problem a week ago
last Friday (0821)
around 18:00 local, then on Thursday (0829), she had the first inconclusive biopsy report,
then Monday (0830) had surgery. Tuesday evening late (maybe 10) I had
the news the surgery had gone fine, and today (0901) a great talk with her. These dates and the
associated times need to be checked, but I want to record the outline of a prediction for
positive deviation, low effect; 15-min blocks, and best estimate of the time as event
centered in one hour period. The motivation here is to try to understand a possible
"experimenter effect" by asking whether personally intense material experienced by the project
director (and chief predictor) may show anomalous results. This is an
informal exploration, not to be included in the GCP formal tally.

Billion Person Meditation event. A formal prediction was made on 18
October, for a medium response during the time of the event
described in the press
release for the One Billion Person Peace Meditation 99. The timing
is 6:00 PM Hawaii Time, Sunday, October 24, 1999, corresponding to
04:00 Monday morning, GMT. The publicity addresses the whole world,
however. The actual meditation is scheduled for a ten-minute period
from 6:10 to 6:20 pm. The time period for the prediction will be
from 6:00 to 6:30 (04:00 to 04:30, UTC, Monday, 25 October, 1999)
using 10-minute blocking.
-
December 22 is Winter Solstice, and the Full Moon. The moon will be unusually bright
because of orbital coincidences and there is, in addition, a galactic alignment
that is extraordinary.
(This is described fully in the Gaiamind
website).
The several factors come close to alignment, but for the EGG prediction we will use
the smallest, most visible cycle, the exact full moon, which occurs at 5:30 pm, UT.
It is not obvious how much time around that moment to include in the
prediction so I have arbitrarily decided to use the 4.8 minute "global moment"
that was mystically calculated early in development of the EGG project.
For analysis, the block size will be raw seconds, but a second, exploratory calculation
will use the 4.8-minute period itself.
The prediction will be formal, but in the medium category, since it is not obviously a
major global event in terms of human interest. It is, rather, more of a cosmically
oriented event, in which the earth is a unitary whole in a larger scheme of things.
In addition, this event has a lineage from the Gaiamind event (see the link
above) which was the first effort to record an effect of Global Consciousness using a
network of REG sites. The prediction was stimulated by an internet "rumor" about this
full moon being the brightest in more than a hundred years. Then, Jim Fournier added
information about an extraordinary alignment with the galactic center, which, although
it has a large possible error, provides an aesthetically pleasing context for the
earth and human scale events.

The Pope visits Israel, Speaks at the sea of Galilee, Sermon on the mount,
dateline Fri Mar 24 11:56 ET [I'm guessing this means EST, UTC-0500 hours].
Quotes from articles via Yahoo.
Reinhilde makes a general prediction: "You should be thinking about the Pope's
visit. That is a Global Event. People listen and cry because they are so
grateful to hear such a loud, clear voice. This is more important than your
personal experience at the Deutsche Requiem."
The following timed points in the Pope's trip can be correlated with
parameters of the multiple, synchronized timeseries of normally random egg data.
-
Arrival, Weismann, Tel Aviv, Tuesday March 21 11:37 AM ET
``In this year of the 2,000th anniversary of the
birth of Jesus Christ, it has been my strong
personal desire to come here and to pray in the
most important places which, from ancient
times, have seen God's interventions, the
wonders he has done.''
-
Bethlehem, Plea for Palestine, Wednesday March 22 1:54 PM ET
``I appeal to political leaders to implement agreements already arrived at, and
to go forward toward the peace for which all reasonable men and women
yearn.''
-
Visit to Holocaust Museum, tears, Thursday, Mar 23, dateline 7:27 AM ET
Saying he had come to pay homage to the millions of Jewish victims, the Pope
declared: ``There are no words strong enough to deplore the terrible tragedy
of the Shoah'' -- the Hebrew word for Holocaust.
-
Sermon at Galilee, Friday March 24 11:56 AM ET
He urged the 100,000 pilgrims to take the ancient message into Christianity's
third millennium and resist what he called ''the voice of evil'' of modern
times.
``It is a voice which says: 'Blessed are the
proud and violent, those who prosper at any
cost, who are unscrupulous, pitiless,
devious, who make war not peace, and
persecute those who stand in their way'.''
-
Meeting with Ehud Barak, Friday March 24 11:56 AM ET
``It carried with it a highly important message about peace and tolerance and
compassion, not just among human beings, but among nations,'' Barak said.
-
Visits to three Churches, Friday March 24 11:56 AM ET
The Pope also made a private tour of three small Christian shrines on the
shores of the Sea of Galilee.
They included the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves, where tradition
says Jesus performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes, and the reputed
house of the Apostle Peter, to whom Popes trace back their leadership of the
Church.
-
Nazareth, Israel, March 25 - His voice hoarse after six days of
homilies and prayers, Pope John Paul II journeyed through
Jesus' boyhood town Saturday and, flanked by black-robed
priests, visited the spot where the Bible claims Mary learned she
would give birth to the Christ child.
-
Jerusalem, March 26 - Pope John Paul II finished his tour of the
Holy Land on Sunday morning with a visit to one of Judaism's
most sacred sites, Jerusalem's Western Wall. Following Jewish
tradition, the Pope placed a message to God in a crack in the
wall asking for forgiveness for centuries of Christian
mistreatment of the Jewish people. He also met Muslim leaders
at the Al-Aksa Mosque, the third most holy place in Islam.
However, the climax of the pontiff's personal pilgrimage was his
visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Christians
believe that Jesus was crucified, died and was resurrected.
We will look at the data-stream concurrent with the time of the visit.
The selection of points above represents a formal prediction that the Pope's
visit is important, and that it will bring global consciousness to
an engaged focus at various times.
I expect to explore more generously the possible patterns and structures in the
data, but these specific points constitute a set with high expectation. We
will use a 1-minute blocksize to parallel the sample size in Doug Mast's
correlational analysis, and to allow for some fuzziness of synchronization
among the eggs, some of which do not have xntpd running. We will look for
spikes in cumulative traces of distribution parameters including the central
value and variability metrics, in Z^2, and may apply the height X proximity
probability metric used for
Y2K spike assessment.

On Easter Sunday, April 23, 2000, at 2pm New York time (7pm, GMT)
a global meditation and prayer event called
The Great Experiment II is being promoted by
Gregg Braden, Doreen Virtue and James Twyman. The event is described in
more detail on
their website.
Briefly, the suggestion is to, "... at the appropriate time in your
time zone, stop for ten minutes and follow this simple format:
Begin by breathing deeply and get very comfortable. If you have a small
piece of cloth hold it in your hands ... [You can repeat thoughts such
as,]
"I accept peace this moment for myself and for all sentient beings on
this and every planet. I accept my role as an Emissary of Light, ...
May peace prevail on earth."
The GCP prediction is that there will be a positive deviation during the
10-minute period from 19:00 to 19:10, UTC (corresponding to the time
specified in the announcement). Analysis will use 1-second blocking and
the expectation is medium.
Note: Although this is a formal prediction,
it has a curious quality, especially with regard to the possibility of
experimenter influence. The Twyman group announced that I would be
measuring the effect of their "Great Experiment" in 1998, but that was
not true. I perceive this event as driven in part by self-promotion,
which imparts an undesirable flavor,
but at the same time I believe it has a good central
core and that many people will appreciate it and benefit from it. Thus
the prediction is made in a context of potential contradictions:
I think the event per se
properly belongs with other widely promoted global meditation events,
while at the same time, the outcome might be affected by the mixed
motives projected in the organizers' promotional literature, and which
I, as experimenter, keenly feel.
-
On Thursday, 4 May 2000, the fifth
World Earth Healing Day
will take place. This annual event, which began in 1996,
has linked up thousands of people across the world in meditation, prayer,
and mindful activity to help raise world consciousness and further world
healing.
World Earth Healing Day seeks to promote a greater awareness of our
interconnectedness as a global family, and to provide an opportunity for
people to express collectively their vision of a more harmonious and
peaceful world.
"On World Earth Healing Day you are invited to join people around the world
in
three simultaneous worldwide linkups. The first will take place at 4am GMT
(5am in the UK); the second will take place at 12 noon GMT (1pm in the UK);
and the third will take place at 7pm GMT (8pm in the UK). Each linkup will
last for at least 20 minutes. During this time you can meditate, pray,
dance, sing, or perform a symbolic act. Whatever you do, dedicate your
intent to the expansion of love and awareness on the Planet, and as you
contemplate your connection with all things, sense the ripples of what you
do spreading outwards to influence all."
The GCP prediction will be for a composite effect across the three linkups,
each 20 minutes long, beginning at 0400, 1200, and 1900, GMT, on the 4th of May,
2000. We will use a superposed epoch analysis, with unblocked data. An
exploration will examine 5 minute blocks, and we will separately examine the first
minute from each linkup.

Prediction by Arnold Lettieri: "I predict that the season
finale, on August 23 2000, of the popular CBS-TV show, "Survivor,"
which has an expected audience of 40 million souls, will yield a small
positive deviation of composite Chi-square from expectation, with a peak
somewhere between 2000 and 2200 EST, the time slot for this program."
This prediction is clearly US-centric, but will be treated as a global
event in the same spirit as the US political and sports events have
been. The formal prediction is thus a cumulative deviation of chisquare
during the two-hour period of the show, using one-second resolution, with
low or medium expectation. The "peak somewhere" cannot be used in a
formal prediction since it is non-specific.

Several sources suggested that the GCP make a prediction for the
Millenium Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders. The first
was by Murali Dhar, who sent an email on Tue, 20 Jun 2000.
Subject: Re: PARTICIPATION IN G C P
Dear MR. Roger Nelson
BEST WISHES IN THE NAME OF GOD.........
Please play special attention to the spirtual meet
where about 100 religious heads are meeting on one
platform coming from allover the world. Please make
efforts to record the speeches of all the heads.They
have to be available on our web site.
The International Spirtual Meet is begining on 28 th
August at Newyork under the leadership of U N
Secretary General Mr .Kofi Annan
Murali Dhar
On 31 August, Chris Hardy asked, "Are you going to analyze data in sync
with the UN's Millennium World Peace Summit?" She included a
description by Sharon Franquemont of the experience of being there.
It is a moving description, and several quotes are included in the
analysis document for this event.
An Eskimo, Angaangaq Lyberth, from Greenland said, "About 10 years ago now,
one of my people came back to our village and reported a strange phenomenon.
'There is a trickle of water coming down the glacier. I think that the
ice is melting.'" Today that trickle is a stream of water.
So I say to you, while we sit here talking, and making commitments to peace,
remember the ice is melting.....the ice is melting. But this ice is easy to
melt compared to the ice in the human heart, so I am going to sing a song for
that, a song to melt the ice of the human heart." Standing there in clothing
made from 3 different types of seal skins and a simple leather string around
his forehead, he took out a large seal skin drum and began to play a haunting
and deep call to inner integrity. When he finished, he whispered once again,
"Remember the ice is metling." After a moment of stunned silence, those who
had listed to this remarkable presentation with 65 Indigenous people standing
in support behind them broke into thunderous clapping again.
The suggestions for inclusion of the event have not been explicit, but
we have a reasonable precedent in the Pope's visit to the Middle East.
The events share an aspect of pilgrimage, and both occasions are clear
statements of the integrated world we need to achieve.
The formal analysis will follow the same criteria, presenting the whole
period of time from the 28th to 31st August, and using a one-minute
blocksize. In secondary analyses, particular events may be singled out.
-
The Olympic Games are an international event of considerable interest
around the world, and Robin Taylor of Fiji predicted that the lighting
of the Olympic Flame would engage broad attention and yield a positive
trend in the EGG data. From the official calendar we have:
"The Opening Ceremony for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games will begin at 7pm
(AEDT) on Friday, September
15 and end three hours later at Stadium Australia at Homebush Bay."
The order of proceedings placed the torch ceremony at
the climax of this period.
The actual timing of events is difficult to determine, but several
reports indicate it was drawn out, and the most direct indication
I could find of the time the flame was lit by Cathy Freeman
was an observation in a commentary email that the
ceremony was 4 hours and 20 minutes long. This would place the climax
well after the nominal time, and
the planned analysis thus was arbitrarily set to cover the period from
11:00 to 12:00, GMT, corresponding to
22:00 to 23:00 in Sydney.
The blocksize will be seconds, and the assigned expectation is medium.
Some exploratory analyses will look at the data from individual eggs in the
region, particularly those in New Zealand.

Funeral Ceremonies, Pierre Trudeau.
Mahadeva Srinivasan (Chino) was visiting in Canada and the US, and
suggested that the deep
impressions generated by the ceremonies for former Canadian Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau might be a
global event to which the GCP network would react. He wrote a detailed
description of his own
impressions, which form the basis of a formal prediction for deviation
during the two hour period of the
ceremonies. The assessment will use the raw trial data, and the
expectation is medium. Here is Chino's
description:
... I watched the funeral ceremony for Pierre Trudeau which took
place in Montreal and shown live on Canadian television this morning
from 11 am to around 1 pm. It was generally touching. Nobody expected
the kind of spontaneous outburst of "feeling" and emotional expression
the way it happened and in such a scale during the past two or three
days. But the most touching and moving scene during the entire ceremony
in my opinion was the 10 minute Eulogy given by Trudeau's son Justin
Trudeau at the end of the funeral ceremony. Justin is probably about
30 years old , but looks even younger. The boy works as a school
teacher in Vancouver. He read out from a piece of paper in English and
French but it was done extremely well. I am sure a few million people
in Canada must have cried when he ended, for he himself burst into
tears in front of an audience of may be 20 million Canadians and may
be more outside Canada where the ceremonies may have been televised
live. Perhaps it may be worth looking at the response of the GCP EGGS.
The time was 12.40 pm (day time) and the date was Tuesday 3rd October
2000. You may scan a 5 or 10 minute interval centred around the 12.40
time mark

I asked for more precise information, and we agreed on a prediction.
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 10:32:32 -0500 (EST)
From: mukesh garg
Subject: Global Event
Read your msg. just now. The 50th Miss World contest will commence today
(30th NOV) at 8.00 pm (local London time) at Millenium Dome in London.
The program shall last for about two & half hours. The final winner is
declared just 5 minutes before the end. This program is not being telecast
live in Malaysia. So I can not watch it live. Later when they show the
recorded program, I shall watch & note down the exact timings and let you know.
The prediction is by both of us, and for the formal event, we will look
at the last
five minutes of the program, from 10:25 to 10:30 London time, with
medium
expectation and one-second resolution. We will also assess the full two
and a
half hour of the complete broadcast in an exploratory mode.

This prediction is for departures from expectation correlated with
a global meditation with the theme of love. It occurs at a unique
time, 010101, particularly in the context of the
GCP technology, which is based on potentially labile random bit
sequences, that is, sequences of 010101....
People are looking for ways to celebrate the future, and many
are working on plans and notions that they feel will help us to
move toward a nicer, healthier world. Grand proposals for
mass meditations and heartfelt promotions of group prayers
are focused on raising the level of
human consciousness, and this is of obvious interest to the Global
Consciousness Project. This prediction relates to one of the many plans, and
it is especially charming because the time
is 010101, that is, the First day of January in the year 2001.
Given the precision of one second in the GCP data, an extended
specification can be made for a special moment precisely
at 010101 on 010101, that is one hour, one minute, and one second after
the New Years midnight.
Arnold Lettieri predicts, furthermore, that the signature of this moment
will be flat as a pancake, and though we are a little unfamiliar with
the science of flatness, it is part of the picture. I note that, after
all, in the language of REG devices, 010101, 010101 ought to be
understood as a word or two about balance. Maybe flatness and balance
are akin to each other; maybe the flat and the spiked are mirrors of
each other, and equally meaningful, especially when in balance.
The prediction is by Nelson and Lettieri and is based on
Andreas Buechel's proposal, made in an email dated Thursday,
16 Nov 2000 18:09:16 +0100.
His subject line: stimulating global counciousness with a global lovewave.
You can find the full description in the 010101
analysis page. Here are the primary elements of the prediction.
... we can be loving even to people we do not know, to both our
friends and enemies; we can say "I love you" to Mother Earth,
to all beings. Let us do this wave of love for the first time
at new year's eve 2001 ... to welcome a new age at 010101 ... as
one nation, one race, one unity of love
In order to have a shared plan, there are three possibilities
to join the first wave of love as far as timing is concerned:
1: During the 48 hours from the beginning of 31.12.2000
till the end of 01.01.2001, Greenwich Mean Time Zone,
I think, feel, say or express otherwise "I love you"
2: During 31.12.2000 23.45 pm and 01.01.2001, 0.15 am of
my Local time I think, feel, say or express otherwise
"I love you"
3: Between 31.12.2000 23.45 pm and 01.01.2001 0.15 am,
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) I think, feel, say or express
otherwise "I love you"
... the greatest focussing of attention will most likely be
at possibility three. You can visit the lovewave website at
http://www.8ung.at/abc/lovewave.html and see the global ongoing
actions connected to this idea.
We will accept Andreas expectation as the essential prediction, namely
that the 30 minutes centered on midnight, GMT, will show a deviation.
A second, exploratory prediction
(based on the sheer fun of the symbolism) is for a
momentary departure from expectation an hour and a bit after midnight.
We will predict a special quality in the data, something
indicating synchrony, at 01:01:01 on 01/01/2001.
Both predictions are with medium expectation, and we will use unblocked data
(seconds) for analysis.

Kumbh Mela is a great pilgrimage. Two correspondents independently suggested
it should be a GCP event, Arvind Panchal and Mahadeva Srinivasan. Arvind
said on January 10th:
Dear Dr. Roger
The results [of the GCP] have quite encouraging. I would like to
attract your attention one very big event which is going on in INDIA
in a few days. It is MAHAKUMBH Bath time, when people take a
holy dip in the river Ganges in Allahabad in INDIA. The
MAHAKUMBH comes after 12 years and all true hindus make it a
point to visit the place and take the holy dip. As the newspapers
reported yesteday as many as 4.2 billion people took bath. Now I
certainly feel that this is an event which must show up in GCP. If not
world wide at least in GCP sites in INDIA we must see the change. I
would like to know the results due to the MAHAKUMBH event.
You can see the local newspaper sites to get an update on the
MAHAKUMBH http://www.timesofindia.com/today/ Arvind
With the help of Chino Srinivasan, a colleague in the GCP who is
familiar with the Kumbh, the prediction was made for a deviation of
the mean across all eggs during the most concentrated time of the
Kumbh. On January 24th 2001, the media were predicting that 30 million
people would try to bathe in the Ganges. We decided that the daylight hours
(05:30 to 18:30 in India) should be the focus of the GCP prediction.
Standard analysis, medium confidence.

From the USGS National Earthquake Information Center:
On January 26 2001, a major earthquake occurred IN GUJARAT, INDIA about
65 miles (110 km) north-northeast of Jamnagar, India or about 180 miles
(290 km) southeast of Hyderabad, Pakistan at 8:16 PM MST today, Jan 25, 2001
(Jan 26 at 8:46 AM local time in India). A PRELIMINARY MAGNITUDE OF 7.9
WAS COMPUTED FOR THIS EARTHQUAKE. The magnitude and location
may change slightly as additional data are received from other seismograph
stations. According to preliminary reports, some buildings collapsed in
the state
of Gujarat. The earthquake was felt at Mumbai (Bombay) and Delhi, as
well as
Karachi and Peshawar, Pakistan and in parts of Nepal. On June 16, 1819
an earthquake in this same general area killed 1500-2000 people.
This quake was similar in magnitude to the Turkish quake in August 1999,
and the prediction in this case was based on the striking outcome for the
earlier quake. The period beginning 15 minutes before the actual event,
continuing to 15 minutes after was taken as the formal data segment.
Medium confidence, standard analysis.

Prediction, RDN, Mar 30: Taking another chance on one of the world-wide
prayer events. Joanne Karl of the WorldPuja sent a note
just letting
you know we are doing a live webcast w/ James Twyman from South
Africa March 31st at 11:45am NY time. you can go to www.worldpuja.org
for details.
we have also added chat again as we did on the Dec 17th webcast. this
certainly does intensify the feeling among participants and we suspect
increase coherence. it becomes a truly interactive webcast.
This is not enough information to specify the prediction, so I have
arbitrarily decided to look at one hour, by seconds, beginning with the
appointed time. So the prediction is for deviation during the time from
16:45 to 17:45, 31 March 2001.
I'll also pull in the data for an extra hour before and after, for
context.

Prediction by RDN, on April 2,
based on information from Larry Ammar, without knowledge of the data.
On April 1st, 2001, Johrei Fellowship welcoming ceremonies were held in five
locations around the world, Japan,
Thailand, Africa, Brazil, and the US in New York City. All the
ceremonies began at 11:00 local time,
except in New Youk, where it was at 13:00. The Ceremonies last about an
hour, with the first 30 minutes
given to honors and induction rituals, and the last half-hour is shared
celebration. The prediction is for a significant deviation during the
hour-long ceremony, for each of the five locations.
We will use seconds resolution, and construct a superimposed epoch
analysis (signal averaging) across the five one-hour periods, and put it
in the high expectation category.
Prediction by RDN, on April 22,
based on publicity and Elissa's note announcing a Unitarian event on the
22nd. Earthday is widely celebrated, but there is no particular moment
or grand, localized event. Therefore, the prediction is for the whole
day of April 22, UTC to show deviation. Thus, any and all group
meetings, celebrations, and rituals for Earthday wherever they occur
will have a chance to contribute to an accumulation. Seconds, medium.

Note: This prediction was fully specified in email
correspondence, but inadvertently not entered when it was

Don Watson sent me information about celebrations of the full moon in
Taurus, 7 May 2001, which is the focus of meditations to create global
consciousness. This makes it seem reasonable for a GCP prediction, and
though it is not necessarily a widely known participatory event, there
certainly are many
groups around the world who take it as an important moment. Don sent the
basic information and a website,
http://www.lucistrust.org/events/wesak.shtml,
where I could get more precise timing. The prediction was for a period
of 15 minutes exactly at the full moon, as described by a channeled Buddha.
Specifically, the decision was made to take a 15 minute period centered
on the full moon, which occurred at 13:54 GMT on the 7th.
Medium confidence, standard.

Prediction by Masami Kondo, on May 2 2001:
On Sunday, May 20th, 2001, 10:30am - 1:00pm Japan Time (i.e. Saturday, May
19th, 9:30pm - 12:00am EST), over 10,000 people will gather at the foot of
Mount Fuji at the World Peace Sanctuary (supposedly the highest-vibration
spot on earth) to pray for world peace using the scientific + spiritual
method called the IN.
The modest number of 10,000 participants and the locality may not make this
event a "global event," but its impact is expected to be unprecedentedly
global and substantial.
The prediction is for a global effect, medium, seconds resolution.
Japan time is +0900, so the UTC period is from 01:30 to 04:00, May 20.

seconds resolution, medium expectation.
Note added 030201: To clarify the specification, the 24 hour period

Many independent predictions suggestions for
Summer Solstice, June 21, 2001, with the most direct coming from the
World Earth Healing Day organizers.
On June 21 you are invited to join people around the world in three
simultaneous worldwide linkups. The first will take place at 7.30am GMT
(8.30am in the UK); the second will take place at 11.50am GMT (12.50pm in
the UK), during a solar eclipse; and the third will take place at 7pm GMT
(8pm in the UK). Please note that the UK will be observing daylight saving
time which is an hour ahead of GMT. Each linkup will last for at least 20
minutes. During this time you can meditate, pray, dance, sing, sit quietly,
or perform a symbolic act. Whatever you do, and wherever you are, dedicate
your intent to the expansion of love and awareness on the Planet, and as you
contemplate your connection with all things, sense the ripples of what you
do spreading outwards to uplift all.
The formal analysis will concatenate the data from the three time periods,
and specify 20 minutes for each. High expectation, seconds resolution.

Peter Bancel writes on Fri, 13 Jul 2001 12:55:13 +0100:
"The site for the 2008 Olympics will be announced at noon Princeton time.
This would be a good GCP prediction. There will be a billion Chinese
following this intently."
The formal prediction is for a deviation during a half-hour period
surrounding the moment of the formal announcement, using 12:00 noon as
the point unless there is a significant change in the time for the
event as determined from news coverage.
This corresponds to the period 15:45 to 16:15, UTC. We will use
seconds resolution for the analysis and specify medium expectation.
Added note: The CNN story announcing that Beijing won was posted at
15:38 GMT, and the BBC story at 14:22 GMT, which implies that the
announcement itself was made probably at about 14:00 or a little later.
Thus the prediction period must be moved back by two hours: The period
from 13:45 to 14:15 UTC is set for the prediction.

Peter Bancel writes on Mon, 18 Jun 2001 14:56:51 +0100:
"I want to follow up on my suggestion for GCP/field reg probing of the
Stupa consecration at the Rocky Mountain Shambhala Center (RMSC)."
He provided some information from the organizers, from which the
following excerpts are taken:
Ninety Shambhala centers and groups are now involved. They stretch across
four continents, promising to make the consecration the largest sustained
event in the history of our community. More are signing up each week.
Most centers will be hosting a practice intensive that parallels the
nine-day practice retreat at Rocky Mountain Shambhala Center from 9 to 17
August. Major centers like Karmê Chöling and Dechen Chöling will be
hosting 24-hour-a-day practice intensives that will parallel the
meditation schedule at RMSC.
The consecration ritual
will take place for the entire nine-day practice intensive, which will be
presided over by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche accompanied by other rinpoches.
During the intensive, they will complete the pujas necessary for bringing
the stupa fully to life. The worldwide practice intensive is necessary
to provide the purified ground for this process. It is our role as
practitioners to create that global practice environment.
The prediction will be taken literally, and the full 9-day period from
morning of the 9th to afternoon of the 17th will
be considered, in a format parallel to that for the Pope's visit to the
Middle East. The nine days' data will be concatenated in sequence, with
the prediction based on one minute blocking for each day, with a medium
level of confidence for the prediction.

On September 14 2001, three days after the terrible disaster in New York
and Virginia, there were special times for prayer and memorial. Doug
Mast prepared a formal prediction:
"It looks like there are at least two major events of interest--organized
periods of silence in Europe and America. Let's sum the results from
both places/times to form a single event, since they're close in
"emotional
distance." I predict the usual high sum of chi-square data from all
reporting
eggs, using unblocked (1 s) data, for sums over the time periods
1000 to 1003 GMT, corresponding to a European organized mourning
(http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/09/14/europe.mourning/)
and the time period 1200 to 1203 EDT (1600 to 1603 GMT, right?),
corresponding to the beginning of the Washington service and many
organized mourning events in the Eastern US. Call it a medium
level of expectation.
"Secondary, non-formal prediction: European eggs will show higher
deviation during the first interval and eggs in the US Eastern time zone
will show higher deviation during the second interval."

I think that is a good idea, and it had not occurred to me.
My first reaction is to take the time you give for the program,
8-10 PM = 20:00-22:00, CDT; +5 -> 25-27 -> 01:00 to 03:00 UTC,
Saturday 22 Sept 2001.
Positive cumdev of Chisquare, seconds resolution, medium

Subject: an upcoming coherence of attention
I didn't know if you were aware that at 2:00 p.m. EST, Oct. 12,
there may be a great coherence of attention as thousands of school
children (elementary and secondary) across the U.S.A. simultaneously
recite the "Pledge of Allegiance." This could be a good time to look
for coherent activity in the random generator "EGGs."
Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2001 22:29:45 -0700
Thanks for your response. Yes, let's make a formal prediction about
this one. Adding such a "positive" coherent event could be useful.
You are right about the time, it should be EDT, rather than EST.
About the time window, what about adding five minutes in front of
the event, since one would think the students would be preparing
and thinking a lot about it just before it began. What about 1:55
p.m., CDT through 2:15 p.m.., CDT?
The rest of the parameters you specify in your e-mail (pasted
below) seem good ones to use, too. I look forward to seeing what
the numbers reveal!

Prediction, David Orme-Johnson:
MUM Dome numbers peak.
After Sept 11 over 1000 meditators came
to Maharishi University of Management (MUM) to meditate
together to create an influence of stability and peace in the
country. Together with the people already here, the number of
meditatiors reached a peak of over 1,800.
The specific days and times of over 1,700, the number we predict will
affect North America, were Sept 23-27, with the most people flying at
7:00 to 7:15 PM EDT. Sept 26 was the peak number, over 1,800.
David says that although, "we have been meditating most of the
day every day, this specific period of
Yogic Flying is predicted to have the most powerful effect, which is the
subjective experience of waves of bliss. So our theory predicts that
there will be a national effect that is different from the background
meditation at that time, on the 23-27th of Sept. with 26th the max."
The formal prediction is for a departure from expectation in the data
from 23:00 to 23:15 GMT on the five days from 23 to 27 September 2001.
For display, the five 15-min periods will be concatenated in sequence.
Note: In subsequent email correspondence David decided the full day
of meditation was the
appropriate test, since that is representative of the TM theory. The
final prediction -- for the formal test -- is the period from 11:45 to 23:30
GMT for the five consecutive days.

November 6, 2001. Several people have sent the suggestion
that a widely publicized global meditation on November 11th should be
monitored. Barbara Wolf sent a general description, which proposes a
meditation at 11:00 in your own time zone on the 11th of November, thus,
11/11/11. She responded to my question about the length of time to
consider by proposing "15 minutes between 11 a.m. and 11:15 a..m. in
order to include 11 minutes after the hour. Nov. 11, 11:11 a.m."
Independently, Don Watson sent a note about a proposal to make sounds
with voice or instruments at that time. Both of these suggestions are
propagating over the internet quite widely. The formal prediction is
for a signal averaged composition across all time zones, using the
standard Chisquare analysis, with the time period set as 11:00 to 11:15.
Seconds resolution, medium expectation.

November 6, 2001. Multiple sources propose an analysis of time periods
on the first day of Ramadan. The WorldPuja organization is promoting
a moment of meditation as a way to participate in their live, global
webcast at noon on November 16. The announcement says "daylight savings
in effect" but they also say Eastern Standard Time, so the time is
probably 12:00 noon in New York.
There is no length of time specified.
On the same
day, there is a call for Muslims to unite in prayer:
"Imagine All Muslims around the world saying 'ALLAH AKBAR' at the same
time. Let us all unite Friday 1st Ramadan 1422 16th Nov. 2001 for 3 minutes
starting 2 PM MAKKAH Time 11 AM GMT. We will be united for at
least 3 minutes please let us try to be ONE NATION."
I will predict a
positive trend for both of these, and combine them by concatenation, with
three minutes for each, for display.
The times are 11:00 to 11:03 GMT, plus 17:00 to
17:03 GMT. Both predictions are seconds resolution, medium confidence.

Prediction, email in early December 2001, from a GCP correspondent
who uses astrological information in an array
of potential predictors for real world applications. The astrological
descriptions are treated as indirect indicators for decision making, and address
world conditions or events such as natural disasters, threats of war,
attacks, etc.
If the predictions are effective in that context, they also should
point to GCP events.
We agreed to test this hypothetical correlation by analysing a few of the
astrological moments identified by the methods used for the decision
analysis. I received a list of five moments:
Dec 9, 3:15 PM EST. Moon occupies 14.1 Libra, degree
of Mercury on 9/11 attack date and Nov 12 American
Airlines crash.
Dec 13, 9:06 PM EST. Moon occupies position of Pluto
at 12.6 Sag on 9/11 attack date.
Dec 14, 1:35 AM EST. Moon occupies 15.1 Sag (hot spot
of Mars during 2001)
Dec 14 2:03 AM EST. Moon conjunct Pluto at 15.4 Sag
and activates Saturn-Pluto opposition.
Dec 14 6:10 AM EST. Venus occupies 15.1 Sag (hot spot
of Mars during 2001)
As the moon is usually very precise, a time window of
+/- two hours is appropriate with the morning of the
14th probably lumped into one test.
The formal specification was for a composite of the five 4-hour events,
each centered on the predicted time. Standard analysis, seconds
resolution, medium
confidence.

Prediction, Roger Nelson: The opening ceremonies for the 2002 Winter
Olympics are expected to be engaging not only for the people in Salt
Lake City, but many millions around the world who are watching their
athletes coming together in this long-standing ritual of sportsmanship.
Even though the games have been sullied by scandal, they do engage the
attentions of people quite deeply and genuinely. As best I can tell the
schedule has the Opening beginning at 18:00 Local time on February 9,
2002, which is 01:00
on the next day in UTC. In keeping with past specifications, we will

Prediction for meditation event on March 15 2002,
registered Mar 24 by Peter & Trudy Johnson-Lenz.
Subject: Re: Sri Lankan peace meditation March 15, 2002
On March 15, more than 500,000 people in Sri Lanka gathered to meditate
for peace at the Sarvodaya People's Peace Operation 2002. They were
silent, all in white, and the meditation itself lasted several hours.
Sharif M. Abdullah, a long time friend, was there and provided a
detailed description of the remarkable experience. He also gave the
needed information to specify the event:
Dr. Ariyaratne mounted to podium to begin the meditation at 3:40 pm.
The meditation continued until 4:45 pm.
This converts to 9:40 am - 10:45 am GMT.
The formal event specification is 09:40 to 10:45 GMT, seconds
resolution, high expectation, standard analysis.
We will also look at a longer period around this time and may look also
at the relatively local eggs individually, for exploratory purposes.

Prediction for April 20 2002 by Don Watson
Don sent a note on 15 April with the following information from a web
and email promotion of a world-wide prayer vigil sponsored by a group
that does this with some frequency:
`Join us in "Praying Peace" with the Indigo Children in the Middle
East April 20th, 6pm New York Time, 11pm UK, 8am April 21 in
Sydney.'
I asked Don for more information on the duration of the predicted
event, and we agreed on 10 minutes, since that has been the length of
the publicized communal prayer in other instances. The formal
prediction is for 10 minutes beginning at 6pm EDT, which is 10 pm UTC.
The expectation is medium, and we will use the standard meanshift
analysis (squared Stouffer Z) with seconds resolution.

Prediction for April 14 2002 by Ray Anderson.
Winning the Master's was a Tiger Woods moment, which I think may have
an effect like the OJ Simpson or Academy Awards. The main play
occurred between a tee time of 2:22 PM EDT 4/14/02 and a
finishing time of approximately 6:30 to 7:00
PM. My belief is that the true moment of the effect of national
involvement occurred approximately at 4:30 PM as Vijay Singh erred and
Tiger placed a critical iron shot on the green to protect his three
stroke lead.
The formal prediction is for 14:22 to 19:00 EDT, which is 18:22 to
23:00 UTC, standard analysis, medium confidence, seconds resolution.

Prediction, Tobias Bodine, registered 5 June 2002 for 7 June:
As the World Cup is billed as the "world's largest sporting event" and
seems to have the numbers to back it up, I think it would be a wonderful
opportunity to see whether there will be effects on the GCP data being
collected during crucial soccer matches.
The next match that is nearly certain to have strong viewership around
the world will be coming up at 1230-1430 London Time
on June 7 (England vs.
Argentina). The teams are two of the favorites to win the championship,
and have a strong history of rivalry that goes beyond just soccer (e.g.,
the Falklands War). Fans in the soccer world have been waiting on the edge
of their seats for this game for months now, and expectations are high
for an exciting match.
Assessment after watching the match, in a nutshell (approx times):
1130 GMT ... interest builds up to the start of the match
1130 ... kickoff of match (a moment of high excitement as a
long-awaited event is finally realized)
1130-1212 ... ebb and flow of match play
1212-1216 ... heightened interest in the match due to a penalty
kick situation, culminating in the scoring of a goal
1219-1238 ... lowered interest due to half-time
1238-1325 ... ebb and flow of match play
1325 ... interest/attention begins to drop off
The formal prediction is for a departure of the data during the period
from 11:30 to 13:30 UTC, standard analysis, medium confidence, seconds
resolution. After watching the match Tobias offered considerable detail
about the special moments of interest, as well as information on other
matches in the world cup. As time allows these may be
included in the Exploratory analyses section.

Prediction, email 19 June 2002, from the GCP correspondent
who uses astrological information in real world applications.
This is the second such specification, and again I was provided with
precise times and dates. Again I extracted for analysis the four-hour
periods centered on the times.
... Saturn's role as a trigger and that more attacks may occur within
the final 15 minutes of the applying transit, possibly ending with a
crescendo of violence ... it will be exact on
Thursday June 20 at 11:48 EDT.
Negative astrological energy may also manifest when faster moving
planets, such as the Moon, transit slower moving aspects. Some of
these I included in the first test of "Astrological Moments" during
December 2001.
Sunday June 23 11:06 AM EDT: Transiting Moon conjunct Pluto
Sunday June 23 6:57 PM EDT: Transiting Moon opposed Saturn
The formal specification was for a composite across the three 4-hour periods
centered on the predicted times. Standard analysis, seconds resolution,
medium confidence.

Prediction, Tue, 2 Jul 2002 15:01:02 -0300
From: Pedro Paulo Balbi de Oliveira
In response to Pedro's remark about hoping his egg's data would be
included in the response to Brazil's great victory in the World cup,
I asked, "Would you like to make a [prediction] for the Brazil victory?
If so, I will need the beginning and ending time of the match."
Pedro supplied the information:
Start: 8:00 AM local time (11:00 UTC)
End: 9:48 AM local time (12:48 UTC)
These constitute the definition of a second sample from the 2002 World
Cup. Standard analysis, seconds, medium confidence.

Prediction about World Healing Day, Aug 22 2002, from WEHD organizer,
in email Aug 18.
"Each meditation linkup will last for at least 20 minutes, and will
consist of clear and focused positive thought. During this time, keep
in your mind and heart a vision of a world in which all live in peace,
harmony, and joy. See conflict being resolved through forgiveness and
understanding, and suffering being lifted. Visualize light spreading
across the Planet as world consciousness is raised."
We could all take the world towards peace and healing in an instant, at the
speed of thought, if everybody in the world acted together in their desire
for peace.
We have a steadily growing list of the locations of participants on August
22. This is important: seeing that people are participating helps us all to
see how well we are collectively doing on the healing path. It is also
inspiring: reading the messages of others reminds us that we are not alone
and that there is tremendous potential within people for change.
From Joe Giove we have some specific times:
World Healing Day Meditation Link Up
WHEN: This Thursday, August 22 (full moon)
TIME: 12:00 noon GMT and 22:20 (10:20 PM) GMT
San Francisco: 5:00 AM & 3:20 PM
New York: 8:00 AM & 6:20 PM
London: 1:00 PM & 11:20 PM
Tokyo: 9:00 PM & 7:20 AM (the morning of Aug. 23)
Sydney: 10:00 PM & 8:20 AM (the morning of Aug. 23)
The formal prediction is that the 20-minute periods beginning at 12:00
and 22:20 GMT will concatenate in a positive trend. The standard
analysis will be applied to the concatenated periods. We will also do
the Device Variance Analysis, and use the composite probability for the
formal outcome measure.

An early prediction concerning Sept 11 2002,
made by Eckhard Etzold in March, 2002:
On 22 Sept 2002 Eckhard wrote reminding me of his
prediction for September 11th from March 28th,
and asking why had I not put it
in the Prediction Registry and reported the results as I had promised.
He was correct to chide me, for I had indeed not properly recorded the
prediction. However, there is adequate documentation of the prediction,
and I am now adding it, pursuant to doing the specified analysis.
On Thu, 21 Mar 2002, Eckhard Etzold wrote:

I responded that we could do a prediction, but with a few of his
specifications adjusted. I said the confidence level would be medium
and that the formal analysis would use the full set of eggs.
I said that if Eckhard agreed with my modified version, it would be added to
the registry. He did agree. The formal prediction specifies the
"standard analysis" which is tested for a positive deviation of the
squared Stouffer Z per second, cumulated over the period from
12:45 UTC - 15:45 UTC (8:45 EDT - 11:45 EDT).

Predictions concerning Sept 11 2002, the anniversary
of the terrorist attacks on Sept 11 2001.
From: Gloria Mitchell, Thu, 15 Aug 2002
Are you going to monitor the effects of an event called the
"Rolling Requiem" which has been organized by the Seattle Symphony
Chorale? To date 18 countries and 27 states will have chorals
performing the Mozart Requiem on September 11. Most will be
beginning at 8:46 a.m. in their time zone, hence the Rolling
Requiem. In Olympia, because of the desire to have as much
participation as possible, we will be conducting this remembrance
concert in the evening at 7:46 p.m. There is more information at
the web site of www.rollingrequiem.org.
(1)I did not have this as a prediction, but did have the general
intention to examine the data from the year anniversary.
This suggestion makes a nice format for that, and given the
apparent publicity, might be a "global event" in its own right.
We will use the suggestion as the basis for a formal
prediction, assuming that the Rolling Requiem will
continue with a kind of ceremonial attention or actual concert
for a period of time similar to that of the terrorist attacks,
about 1.5 hours.
Gloria sent more information in response to my questions.
The Requiem is about 45 minutes long (depending upon the endurance of the
conductor). In Olympia, we are planning to have the Mozart "Regina Caeli"
(spelled correctly I hope) The Seattle Symphony Chorale got the ball rolling
on this. Additionally, not part of our program, the fire departments will be
having their own remembrance ceremonies at 7:00. This is an event by the
International Association of Fire Chiefs. So, there will probably be a spike
around 7:00 p.m. as well as 8:46 a.m. Looks like you will have your hands
full. By the way, thank you for putting all of this out on your web site. It
is very informative (even though I don't have a degree in deciphering the
data, I can see trends). Good luck
For the analysis, because the Rolling Requiem periods will overlap, we
will do the simple, standard analysis of the full 24-hour UTC day.
If time permits, we will do a signal average with a 10-min block
beginning at 08:46 in each timezone. This will be an exploration.
(1.5)Of course this 24 hour analysis covers the times we might
otherwise examine on the 11th. I have asked other people what they
think might make sense as a prediction. There is a consensus that the
engagement or focus will begin to be rather strong already on the
evening of the 10th. We will look at the 10th for context, expecting
there may already be a substantial deviation beginning as people on the
East coast of the US are going to bed, say 10:00pm to midnight (02:00 to
04:00 on the 11th UTC). This is exploration.
(2)A second prediction will focus on the actual east coast time
(EDT) of the
terrorist attacks. We will do a device variance analysis duplicating that for
2001. This is a cumulative deviation of the variance, with permutation
analysis to determine the probability of the maximum absolute excursion
during the day, which we will assume is
associated with the time of the attacks, approximately 08:45 to 10:30.

Prediction, Martin Bucholtz, registered 03 Oct 2002 for 03 October 2002:
The first ever "World Earth-Human Festival," this event was officially
the largest and most traditional Korea's Founding Day - "Korea's Birthday"
- celebration of its kind.
Tonight there will be a celebration for World Peace, which will take place,
literally, on a massive scale: over 100,000 people are expected to gather
at an Outdoor football stadium and this gathering will send out healing
vibrations that are quite likely to have a big impact on on Humanity and
on our Earth as well.
The Dalai Lama, as well as many governmental representatives have sent their
blessings for this event. It is being held in Seoul, Korea, on October the
3rd (Korea's Independence day), which will be tonight, either 12 midnight or
1am Eastern Standard Time (I'm not sure about the time difference).
Live Webcam is available tonight by the times specified on their
websites. More information can be found here:
http://www.wehanet.org/event/wehf_congratu.htm
We will formalize this as a prediction for 6 hours beginning
at 13:00 in Seoul, Korea on the 3rd. This corresponds to 12
Midnight, EDT, on the 2nd of October in NYC, which is 04:00,
UTC on the 3nd of October. (This is the best guess I can make about the
times.)
Standard analysis, medium confidence, seconds resolution.

Prediction, Petr Douza, registered 09 Mar 2002 for 12 October 2002:
I'd like to bring to your attention the EarthDance event, a global
electronic music party organised each year as a peace meditation -
through dance. It's being held since 1997 on second weekend of
October, last year with 100 cities participating and 100,000 people dancing.
All dancefloors are connected through "Prayer for peace", track
played simultaneously at one time point in all partyplaces.
I think a nice moment for GCP analysis.
Next Earthdance is on October 12, 2002 (Prayer for Peace played at
midnight London time).
Last year, most of the events were in Europe, North America and
Australia, some also in: Argentina, Brazil, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia,
Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan (complete listing:
http://www.earthdance.org/ed_PATH1/main_frame_venues.html).
....
All people dance and pray at once, every timezone in different local
time. According to the web site: "Morning in the Australian rainforest,
midnight in London, afternoon in San Francisco and sunrise over the
Himalayas". It's at 12 midnight London time (Daylight Savings Time).
....
Prayer for peace is 4:18 minutes long, so perhaps the analysis can go
from 00:00 to 05:00, or some ten minutes before and after that, for the
global energy starts to rise before the actual moment, and stays after
....
By the way, if you want to get the feeling, the track is downloadable
in MP3: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/52/star_children.html.
The formal prediction will be for ten minutes before to 15 minutes
after midnight, London time. I believe that will be 00:50 to 01:15,
UTC on October 13, but will have to check that because of
daylight savings changes.

Prediction, Multiple sources, registered Oct 5 2002 for 12 October 2002:
James Twyman, who works to focus thought and prayers on peace in the
world, will be in Iraq and presenting a peace concert there.
This event is being linked with the preceding prediction for
"Earth Dance".
As many of you already know, I have been invited to perform a concert
for peace in Baghdad on October 12. Millions of people around the world
believe that war is an inappropriate solution to our problems with Saddam
Hussein, or any other international conflict. This is a chance to do something
about it, to use the power of prayer as a catalyst for positive change. I hope
you will forward this e-mail to your friends around the world. The goal is
for millions of people to focus their prayers of peace at the same moment.
We need your help to make this happen.
...
This is the second time the government of Iraq has invited me to Baghdad
when the threat of war seemed imminent. In 1998 millions of people from at
least 80 countries focused their prayers on Iraq, and three days later a
peaceful solution was achieved. This year the worldwide vigil is being
coordinated with another international event called Earth Dance, a peace
initiative being held in 106 cities around the world. (If you want
information on how you can join the gathering in your city, go to
EarthDance.org.) Over a quarter million people will gather in each city on
October 12, and at 1pm New York time participants will join together in
this prayer:
>
> We are one global family,
> all colors, all races, one world united.
> We dance for peace and the healing of our planet earth.
> Peace for all nations.
> Peace for our communities.
> Peace within ourselves.
> Let us connect heart to heart.
> Through our diversity we recognize our unity.
> Through our compassion we recognize peace.
> Our love is the power to transform the world.
> Let us send it out...
> NOW!!
The formal prediction will be for 20 minutes beginning at 13:00 New York
time. This is 17:00, UTC (but check on daylight savings changes.)

Prediction, received via email on January 22, concerning the anti-war
protests on January 18 2003.
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 23:37:11 -0500 (EST)
Subject: Any results from the anti-war protests?
Dear Roger,
I'm writing to check in with the project to see if there were any
measured shifts in global consciousness on January 18th as a result of
the parallel anti-war protests around the world. I'de really love to
know. I was in Washington and felt like there was a resonance in other
parts of the globe.
Thanks,
Ashley Young
I said I would be happy to explore this, but that it
would be valuable to make a specific, formal prediction.
I requested a beginning time and ending time for a period that
contained or defined the major gatherings, according to Ashley's feeling
for the times that seemed appropriate.
My guess for a prediction is for a period of several hours, somewhere in
the range of 10 am to 6 pm, Washington
time, but I will use the official times for the formal prediction,
obtained from Ashley or news services.
News services say start at 11, and no exact time for end, but around
3:30 or 4:00 pm. Ashley sent a note on 23rd confirming the period from
11:00 to 4:00-ish, and specifying that "the times that I think would be
most appropriate would probably be between 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM on
Saturday the 18th." This is the period when the
"consciousness of the anti-war protesters was most heightened ..."
The formal specification is thus 1:30 to 3:30 (18:30 to 20:30 GMT),
standard analysis, seconds resolution. Subsidiary analysis will look
at other periods, including the official time, the
San Francisco period, as well as individual eggs close to Washington.

On February 9, 2003, James Twyman, Doreen Virtue, and Gregg Braden are
asking everyone who can do so to join in "Living and Praying
Peace".
This is also called Great Experiment III, as the third event of its kind
being promoted over the web and by word of mouth. I think I have
already (mid January) gotten about half a dozen independent notes about
it. There is a feeling of greater clarity and humble intent in this
promotion, as well as a deeper urgency of purpose because of the growing
danger of major clashes and war in the middle east and especially in
Iraq. Included in the material I have received is this beautiful
quote from Mother Theresa: "I was once asked why I don't participate in
anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as
soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there."
People everywhere are invited to focus their prayers of peace, sending a
wave of healing energy to the governments of both the US and Iraq.
The time is Sunday, February 9 at noon New York time (9 AM Pacific, 5 PM
London). The global consciousness project prediction will look at the
whole day centered on noon New York with our standard analysis at
seconds resolution, focused on the hour from noon to 13:00 EST.
As exploratory contextual analysis,
we will look at this hour using the device variance perspective,
predicting again that this period will show substantial deviation.
In addition, we'll probably look at the 24-hour day, an at subsets of
eggs.
This day has become a more general focus than described above,
with many other groups
contributing their encouragement to join in meditations and prayers for
peace in the world, and peaceful resolution of the crises now troubling
us. I am writing the final form of this prediction at about 12:45,
after sitting for a time with Peace on Earth as my breathing mantra.

There is a building cascade of pro-peace demonstations in the next two
days. For example, one of the lists that sends things to me describes
the horrors that await if we do not succeed in halting the imminent war
on Iraq, and then urges participation in rallies as a way of doing
something to help:
If you can get to New York or San Francisco on the weekend of
February 15-16 for the big marches and rallies, come -- because the
numbers are vitally important.
The New York March and Rally is on February 15, in solidarity with
marches in capitols all over the world, and is sponsored by United for
Peace and Justice.
The San Francisco March and Rally is on February 16, and begins at Justin
Hermann Plaza, at 11 AM, and marches to the Federal Building. To join
with the Code Pink women¹s cluster and the Pagan Cluster, meet us at 10
AM at Montgomery and Market St.
I will predict that the 15th will show departures from
expectation in the standard analysis. At this time I don't have timing
for the rallies, but when that information is available, I will do a
signal average of the major time-blocks in Europe and US, and if
indicated in the other capitols. The SF info suggests a period of
perhaps 3 hours, from 10:00 to 13:00. In the absence of better info,
this will be the timeblock we use. This will allow non-overlapping east
and west coast and European periods. Note added late on the 15th,
before looking at any data:
The news reports indicate that millions were out, in hundreds of cities
around the world. So the prediction will be simplified to accomodate
all the major demonstrations, from Tokyo to San Francisco. Probably the
simplest is to just predict the whole day, but expecting there may be
greater effect in the times of the biggest, most intense demos, such as
Berlin, London, and New York. In Berlin, the beginning was noon, and
concluding speeches were expected between 14:00 and 16:00. London
and New York also assembled at noon, other places at different times,
e.g., Paris at 14:00. So our formal prediction is for
the whole GMT day, standard analysis. Secondary predictions are for
the Berlin, London, NYC locations with total time 11 to 20:00 GMT. We
will also probably look at variance.

Prediction for 20030303, by Nelson, based on several inputs.
At least three kinds of large scale events are being organized.
They include the first day of the "Gather the Women" project, invitations
to 3 minutes of prayer at 3:00 wherever you may be, and performances
of Lysistrata, the urgent antiwar drama from ancient Greece,
in more than 1000 venues from New Zealand to Alaska.
The prediction will be for the 24 hour day beginning with evening
performance times in Australia and New Zealand, and ending in the
evening in Alaska. Specifically it will be from 07:00 UTC, 3 March,
to 07:00 UTC, 4 March. Standard analysis, seconds resolution.

Prediction, Carol Hansen Grey, registered 27 Aug 2002 for March 8 2003:
Women of Vision and Action, an international network
of women leaders who are dedicated to taking spirit-based action to
create positive change in the world is sponsoring a project called
Gather the Women. It will take place the week of March 3, 2003
with daily activities leading up to the Global Gathering of Women
on March 8th. We envision a billion women (and probably also many men)
participating in some way in this project to ground the feminine energy
and to bring the planet back into balance. We feel balance is key
to bringing about the positive changes we all envision for our planet.
If we look at all the challenges we face in our world today, it can
be brought down to a core issue: the masculine/feminine energy is
out of balance, thus every segment of ciety is out of balance.
If something is out of balance it cannot function harmoniously.
Working on correcting the balance is working at the cause level-- the
only level where permanent change can be made.
You can find more information by visiting
http://www.gatherthewomen.org.
At this writing, a specific time is not available. In case no more
precise definition comes, I will arbitrarily take the full 24-hour UTC
day as the analysis segment. Standard analysis, seconds.

Prediction suggested by several sources, beginning with the moveon.org
announcement of a vigil:
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 05:48:07 +0000
From: "Wes Boyd, MoveOn.org"
To: Roger D Nelson
Subject: Please help with a Global Vigil for Peace
Dear MoveOn supporters around the world,
Please visit http://www.globalvigil.org and plan a candlelight vigil
for peace in your area on Sunday, March 16 at 7 pm. MoveOn.org and
the Win Without War coalition, together with Archbishop Desmond Tutu
and many faith-based organizations, are calling this vigil, and we
need your help.
Beginning in New Zealand, this will be a rolling wave of candlelight
gatherings that will quickly cross the globe. It's up to you to make
this happen. Today we are asking individuals, like you, to organize
a vigil in each community. We're hoping that thousands of small
groups around the world will be inspired to come together and
stand for peace.
In the web-distributed materials for organization of the vigil, the
suggestion is made to maintain the vigil for something like half an
hour, beginning at 7:00 local time. Although a signal average might be
a good representation, I will specify a simple accumulation over the
whole 24 hours, beginning at 7:00pm in New Zealand. Standard analysis,
seconds. (UTC time is 07:00 Sun Mar 16 to 07:00 Mon Mar 17)
