METHODOLOGY
To unearth the uncanny relationship between physicists in Connecticut and Google searches for "E.T. phone home," we conducted a research endeavor as quirky as the topic itself. Our methodology entailed a fusion of data synthesis and statistical analysis, akin to mixing rocket fuel with a dash of cosmic humor.
First, we plundered the Bureau of Labor Statistics like intergalactic scavengers, extracting data on the number of employed physicists in the state of Connecticut from 2004 to 2020. Armed with these figures, we embarked on a journey through the virtual cosmos of Google Trends, diligently tracking the frequency of searches for the iconic phrase "E.T. phone home." If only we had bicycles with baskets to carry our data treasures!
Now, brace yourself as we touch upon the celestial dance of statistics. Employing sophisticated analytical techniques that would make even E.T. take pause, we computed a Pearson correlation coefficient to quantify the relationship between the number of physicists and the search interest in our intergalactic summon. Our statistical arsenal also included time-series analysis and regression modeling – the warp drives of our quest for meaning in seemingly disparate phenomena.
Additionally, to ensure the integrity of our findings, we employed robustness checks and sensitivity analyses, akin to verifying the authenticity of alien communication signals. We scrutinized potential confounding variables, such as the proliferation of space-themed entertainment or changes in Connecticut's scientific landscape, to safeguard against celestial interference.
Furthermore, to validate the robustness of our results, we subjected our data to cross-validation techniques, akin to comparing patterns in cosmic dust to confirm a celestial alignment. Our model's predictive abilities were assessed to ascertain its reliability in forecasting Google search behavior based on physicist employment – a process that could rival the meticulous precision of extraterrestrial navigation.
In a delightful twist, we also explored the temporal dynamics of this peculiar relationship, employing time series decomposition and wavelet analysis to ride the cosmic waves of our data. We sought to uncover any periodic patterns or cosmic ripples that might underpin the observed correlations, much like celestial harmonics painting patterns across the cosmic canvas.
Lastly, our multidisciplinary approach entailed weaving together insights from behavioral economics, sociology, and astrophysics to distill the essence of this enigmatic correlation. In the spirit of exploration, we endeavored to lend a whimsical touch to academic discourse, marrying empirical rigor with a sprinkle of stardust to captivate both the scholarly skeptic and the romantic cosmic dreamer.
In sum, our methodology sought not only to unravel the statistical mystique of this peculiar connection but also to infuse the scientific pursuit with a dash of intergalactic charm.

As E.T. bequeathed a newfound popularity to interstellar chatter, the spike in Google searches seemingly roped in physicists, leading to a correlation that's both statistically robust and delightfully reminiscent of a cosmic dance.
The data revealed more than just a quirk of statistical analysis – it shed light on the whimsical and often unpredictable nature of human inquiry. Just as E.T. yearned for home, the public's longing for extraterrestrial wonders seems to have resonated with physicists navigating the terrestrial realm. The allure of cosmic communication seemed to cast its spell on both scientists and the general populace, suggesting a droll and out-of-this-world connection that warrants further exploration. While we may be light-years away from a definitive answer, our findings hint at a beguiling cosmic charade, inviting us to peek through the cracks in the cosmic eggshell and grin at the celestial secrets within. But as with any good cosmic tale, one can't help but wonder – are we the extraterrestrials in this paradigm? And wouldn't we be truly "phoning home" if we found enlightenment in these peculiar associations? However, the answers to these questions are, at the moment, like the touch of E.T.'s finger – just beyond our grasp.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
INTRODUCTION
In the ever-enigmatic quest for knowledge, scientists have tirelessly toiled to unravel the mysteries of the universe, while the rest of us mere mortals have enjoyed our favorite extraterrestrial flicks and squealed "E.T. phone home" or "phonee homee" into the echoing void of space. It's easy to dismiss such pop culture phenomena as mere whimsy, but as physicists are known to ponder the profound while sipping their morning coffee, the correlations and connections we stumbled upon may have you scratching your head – or dialing the intergalactic hotline.
The state of Connecticut, known for its charming rural landscapes, rich history, and rather impressive knack for producing physicists, proved to be the unsuspecting stage for our peculiar investigation. Our study delved into the curious relationship between the number of physicists employed in the Constitution State and the frequency of Google searches asking E.T. to phone home. While it may seem like a cosmic coincidence, we assure you that our analysis is grounded in the solid principles of statistical rigor and academic inquiry – no UFO sightings required.
As we embark on this whimsical journey, let us remind ourselves that while physicists are busy pondering the fundamental forces of the universe, they are not immune to the siren song of cinematic charm. And what better symbol of our collective fascination with otherworldly encounters than the endearing alien who captured our hearts in the 1982 classic? So, dear reader, brace yourself for an unconventional adventure through the colorful intersection of scientific pursuits and our endearingly peculiar human predilections. And don't be surprised if we sprinkle a few interstellar puns along the way – after all, it's always stellar to add a touch of levity to the cosmos of academia.
[[RESULTS]]
In analyzing the data on the number of physicists gainfully employed in Connecticut and the frequency of Google searches for "E.T. phone home" from 2004 to 2020, we uncovered a truly astronomical correlation. With a calculated correlation coefficient of 0.9138050, an r-squared value of 0.8350396, and a p-value of less than 0.01, the statistical significance of this relationship exceeded our expectations... much like how E.T.'s bike soared across the moon.
Fig. 1 illustrates the scatterplot displaying this remarkable correlation, with each data point representing a distinct time period within the study. The figure showcases the unmistakable trend of increased Google searches for "E.T. phone home" corresponding to a higher number of physicists in the state of Connecticut. It's as if the allure of intergalactic communication bewitched both the public and the physicists in their ivory towers.
Upon initial inspection, one might posit that perhaps the surge in E.T.-related yearning triggered an unforeseen rush of students into physics programs in Connecticut, but let's not jump to any warp-speed conclusions just yet. Further investigation is necessary to truly grasp the cosmic dance between these disparate variables. It's like seeking evidence of extraterrestrial life – our findings are tantalizing, but we'll need a bit more than a trail of Reese's Pieces to confirm our suspicions.
This unexpected correlation not only adds a touch of whimsy to the realm of statistical analysis but also beckons us to consider the larger implications of our human curiosities. It's a reminder that even the most serious of scientific pursuits can overlap with the charming frivolities of the silver screen. After all, who doesn't dream of phoning home when the stresses of the world become just a little too terrestrial?
Our results have unearthed an intriguing relationship, beckoning us to delve deeper into the link between cultural phenomena and the behaviors of intellectual enclaves. The cosmic tapestry of connections between physicists and E.T. enthusiasts awaits further unraveling, inviting both a sense of wonder and a healthy dose of skepticism. It appears that in the grand narrative of scientific inquiry, there is always room for a bit of otherworldly charm – and room for puns, too, if you're up for the challenge.

[[CONCLUSION]]
In conclusion, our study has shed light on a remarkably strong correlation between the number of physicists in Connecticut and the frequency of Google searches for "E.T. phone home." It appears that the allure of intergalactic communication has captivated not only the general populace but also the cerebral musings of physicists pondering the universal mysteries – or perhaps preparing for unexpected encounters in the lab. While our findings have left us starry-eyed, it is crucial to note that correlation does not imply causation, so we won't be quick to declare that physicists are actively trying to phone home to E.T. from their research facilities.
The data has revealed a relationship so robust that one might be tempted to exclaim, "Eureka, we've found the extraterrestrial connection!" However, we must resist the urge to leap to such astronomical conclusions. Indeed, the statistical significance of our findings may be sky-high, but as with any scientific inquiry, caution and further investigation are warranted. Perhaps E.T. and our Earthly physicists are engaged in their very own quantum entanglement, where the mere act of observation influences the behavior of the observed – much like the uncertainty principle, but with a touch of whimsy.
Future research could explore the mechanisms underlying this intriguing correlation, delving into the cultural, sociological, and psychological factors at play. One cannot help but wonder whether the physics community in Connecticut is fostering a subculture of E.T. enthusiasts, or if there is an interstellar beacon subtly influencing their Google searches. With the cosmic dance of variables at hand, it becomes ever more apparent that the fabric of reality continues to weave together the most unexpected threads.
In the spirit of academic inquiry, we advocate for further exploration of the whimsical intersections of science, entertainment, and extraterrestrial yearnings. However, in the case of our present findings, we are confident in asserting that no more research is needed in this area. For now, let the results of this peculiar investigation serve as a reminder that even in the austere domain of academia, a dash of levity and curiosity can lead us to unexpected celestial connections. As we bid adieu to this cosmic foray, we leave you with a parting thought: "Phone home, but don't forget to factor in the gravitational pull of statistical rigor."
And remember, when it comes to decoding the cosmic jokes of the universe, sometimes the punchline is closer to home than we think.

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.8350396 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 83.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'E.T. phone home') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of physicists in Connecticut) over the 17 years from 2004 through 2020.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.0E-7. 0.0000002959593535313333300000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.91 in 3.0E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,378,842 random variables You don't actually need 3 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 16 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 16 because we have two variables measured over a period of 17 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.77, 0.97 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
