Most of it is subjectively experienced or time/space related. We can't measure time/space phenomena.

The Princeton random number generator, also not reproducible - so no experiment can be set up before hand. You have to be able to predict and to theorize. No one has been able to do either.

And what may seem statistically beyond chance is actually only anecdotal, usually due to selection bias.
