Two random numbers generated between 0-500 until they match.

Such is the explanation of the origin of life. Among the chemical combinations formed in the course of geological evolution under the influence of cosmic forces, some had the properties required for sustaining life. It was in this way that the simplest biological units started their existence. Life, which evolved into ever more complex structures, was nature's substitute for directly bred computers. Yet it was more than a substitute: it was a road—a winding road, yet one which despite all errors and hazards, crises and catastrophes, arrived at last at its destination.

This page is a simple PHP script that generates two random numbers and compares them, hoping for them to match on the first try. If they don't match, it keeps generating number pairs until they do match. If they do match on the first try, that seems significant, so it logs the date and number of the match. In theory, "something significant" happened around that date that cause randomness to be less random.

This page is me dipping my toe into the Global Consciousness Project. It is not part of the project, and isn't even quantum, but the idea that world events may cause randomness to be less random really piqued my interest.
