Researcher claims black box can predict the future

We're immediately skeptical of any story that starts with a line like "Deep inside the basement...", but science website RedNova has a report on a project by Princeton emeritus researcher Dr. Roger Nelson, called the Global Consciousness Project, that can supposedly see the future.   The system is made up of dozens of small black boxes located around the world, which generate random streams of numbers and then relay the data back to Nelson's lab computer at Princeton.  These black boxes have apparently seen events ranging from Princess Diana's funeral to September 11th to the recent tsumani as they were happening or hours before. Hopefully that black box will be just as good at predicting Dr. Nelson's imminent discrediting as a serious scientist
