Could energy be created by concentrating on a collective idea at a precise time?

Goggle Global Consciousness Project.
It had irregular pattern spikes when presented with a global event (positive or negative)

Wow... so much for thinking I had an original idea... :-) I mean :-(

Well, just for discussion purposes, let's say it is possible. I genuinely don't know if it is or not. Hermit says probably not; some others claim it's already been proven. But, if it were, could we use that energy to direct some type of change? I mean... channel the energy to cause some social change to occur? I don't know, I may be going down an illogical path. It's just something crazy I was thinking about...

Yeah, that's an interesting point... assuming the myth of weather rituals has some basis in reality instead of it being a common coincidence. But, that is a good example of using a collective mind-share to achieve an outcome (if that is what is actually happening).

A thought has a physical presence. It's been measured.
What you say, shamans have been doing for millennias now. Weather rituals.

There have been quite a few studies on this, it's shown to be effective.

I wish I were smart enough to answer this, but it would be interesting if that were possible. What could we do with that energy? lol

Definitely. It's been proven.

Yes, it's been proven. My doctor told me about it, I think there's a link on guardian.com
