The Hive Pulse

This is one of those "everything you know is wrong" stories. A random number generator is shaking the very foundations of rational scientific thought. Scientists are looking at predictive behavior, the very nature of time, and the notion that there may actually be a global mind (what we paranormal types think of as the hive pulse) running through all human beings.

When an event like the World Trade Center attacks, or the South Asian Tsunami occurs, the collective human consciousness affects this battery of machines that generates random numbers. The machines may reflect our joys and agonies.

"It is possible - in theory - that time may not just move forwards but backwards, too. And if time ebbs and flows like the tides in the sea, it might just be possible to foretell major world events. We would, in effect, be 'remembering' things that had taken place in our future. "

"While we may all operate as individuals, we also appear to share something far, far greater - a global consciousness."
