You don't need to get your head around this because it is rubbish. This is a mix of the law of truly large numbers, RNGs and theory dependence.
A random number generator is as some have said not actually a random number generator but a machine that spits out a very long sequence of numbers in order. If I remember correctly, the only TRUE random number generator ever built was one that used lasers to scan the action inside a lava lamp and generated numbers from it. no computer chip can create random numbers. Thus the likelihood of these RNGs creating the same numbers at the same time is fairly high. Furthermore there is a good chance they actually talk to each other.
There is also a serious problem here with internet congestion and other communication issues but I'll leave that one alone.
As for the Law of Very Large Numbers it basically states that you can make any number look like anything you want. Most famously this law was applied to show that the email that circled the globe after 9/11 claiming that everything surrounding the accident could be boiled down to the number 11 was rubbish. The same can be said here: Since the numbers generated are relatively random, you can find any pattern you want in it by applying highly invasive theories.
That's where theory dependence kicks in: When you are a little too eager to find specific results in your research, you'll always find them in your data because you are involuntarily misinterpreting the data. This is also extremely common and it's why double and tripple blind tests are the standard. In this case it's pretty obvious that the "researchers" are finding patterns everywhere they look. But there's some massive problems with the theory; most importantly that there are hundreds of other global events that are not showing up.
What about the london or madrid bombings? or the election of a new pope? or the darfur genocide? Arguably these are not as big but they should still feature. it's also interesting to note that the events peaking are those that are featured in western media even though the majority of the world consciousness is in the eastern and southern parts of the world.
The last point in the video - the one about the peaking starting before the attacks on 9/11 - pretty much invalidates the entire thing because the world consciousness couldn't possibly have been affected BEFORE the attacks. You'd be better off claiming it was solar winds, alien mind control or even Santa Claus creating those patterns - all more reasonable assumptions.
This is bull. pure and simple
