Default Re: Explain this about the random number generators

[ QUOTE ]
Seemingly, having a good attitude is important per the Global Consciousness Project at Princeton. Human minds might have an effect on RNGs.

"Again and again, entirely ordinary people proved that their minds could influence the machine and produce significant fluctuations on the graph, 'forcing it' to produce unequal numbers of 'heads' or 'tails'. "

Yes people can mentally influence RNG's. That's why everyone who plays slot machines and video poker is rich and all the casinos have gone broke. I think Las Vegas's experiment has a bigger sample size than Princeton's. All they've really discovered with the "Global Consciousness Project" is that random events can generate streaks.
