The second Global Orgasm day was described in the same terms
as that in 2006.
It was an invitation "to effect positive change in the energy
field of the Earth through input of the largest possible
instantaneous surge of
human biological, mental and spiritual energy."
Although the Global-O organizers were clear that the focal
time would be 06:08 GMT,
the formal event time was specified as the
whole day of the 22nd, in UTC time.
The primary Stouffer Z analysis shows a
positive outcome, but it is a mild trend, interestingly
beginning just after 6. The trace
trace is similar to that in 2006,
relatively flat until about 07:00 UTC after which the curve follows a
generally positive tack
for the rest of the 24 hours. As was the case last year, the picture has
a feeling of promise, but it is not possible to know whether
the trend is evidence of a "signal" or not. On the other
hand, achieving a kind of "replication" lends some credence
to the interpretation of an effect related to the Global-O
event. It is a similar pattern
and approximately the same effect size. Will this
pattern continue? Stay tuned.
As we have
determined over years of analytical assessment, the signal
to noise ratio in GCP data is very small, and for most categories of
events it appears to be necessary to have dozens of
replications to support reliable conclusions or
interpretations. The statistical
analysis for the second Global Orgasm Day
shows Chisquare 86570.7 on 86400 df for p=0.340 and
Z=0.412.
