To test psychic ability researchers have created experiments to
see if they could predict randomness. So far these experiments
haven't been fully accepted.
I have a new way of doing this kind of experiment that may
actually work. The experiment connects the psychic to the
data. Instead of flipping a coin in another room and asking
the test subject to guess which side it lands on, we put the
coin in the subjects hand and let them flip it!
A more controlled test uses a computer. To do this the
psychic holds down a button that would cycle through
colors, shapes, or numbers. They would attempt to
release the button so that it would stop on their
desired result.
You don't expect 100% with this experiment of course,
and to see the results you wouldn't use lottery numbers
either.
Why does this work? I think it has something to do with
the metaphysical concept of sympathetic links.
You might want to post this to sci.skeptic . I am crossposting
this to there and other groups, with Followup-To set back
to alt.magick , but I think Bob Casanova, the main skeptic
on sci.skeptic, may have me killfiled and may not see this.
