The first ever "World Earth-Human Festival" was held on October 3rd,
2002. It was a large part of an event that was officially
the largest and most traditional celebration of Korea's Founding
Day - "Korea's Birthday".
The celebration for World Peace, was on a massive scale:
over 100,000 people gathered
at an Outdoor football stadium in Seoul to send out "healing
vibrations". Martin Bucholz, who suggested the event said he thought
this would quite likely have a big impact on on Humanity and
on our Earth as well.
The Dalai Lama, as well as many governmental representatives sent
their
blessings for this event. It was held in Seoul, Korea, on October
the
3rd (Korea's Independence day).
We chose to formalize the prediction for a 6 hour period 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.
The result is striking, with a persistent trend that happens to be in
the direction opposite to prediction. The chisquare is 21154 on 21600
degrees of freedom, for a p-value of 0.985.
This should not be interpreted to mean that the celebration had no
effect in the world. Rather, this strong deviation of the data suggests
an effect, but more importantly, it indicates that we still have much to
learn about how the GCP data are affected by events of various kinds.
We do have several other cases of strong "backwards" trends associated
with meditation, prayer, and peace vigil events.
