Hello! There are TONS of studies (properly designed!) that have proved various aspects of para-normal phenomenom. (YES, I am aware of various frauds commited by cons and/or magicians over the years. Uri Geller fooled many people with his phony "psychic" spoon bending, for example. I am not talking about these charlatans, but legitimate research.)
Rhine did numerous studies at Duke University in the Thirties, and came up with statistically significant results. His work was never followed up on much because it has not been "politically correct" to do this kind of research in a University setting. Personal note: I knew a scientist doing VERY hard research at the University of Colorado. During the day he did what the University would've called "legitimate" (whatever THAT is) research. In his SPARE time, when no one else was using the equipment, he used the University SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interferance Device) to conduct research that HE wanted to do. The SQUID is an electromagnetically shielded device that would let you measure minute magnetic fields on a large test object (such as a person). His interest was in psychic healers. So he would have them come and tested them out. He found out that these healers could emit low energy microwave radiation from their hands (the microwave radiation from a human body is normal; we weakly emit many frequencies due to a variety of bodily processes; that's why infrared photography works; we emit strongly in the infrared.). What was unusual about this, was that it was CONTROLLABLE, they could increase and decrease the strength at will. What was his reward at the University for this ground breaking, significant research? Done on his own time, at no cost to the University? When higher ups at the University found out he was doing this, he was FIRED. Last I heard, he was trying to raise funds to buy his own SQUID to continue his research. I know hard research done by 2 more scientists, self funded, that showed some pretty incredible stuff. The above three people I knew personally; this research has not been published in the main stream science media; unfortuneately. They would've loved conventional funding, but it is just NOT available for this type of research. Publishing of reseach in the main stream science media, is blocked, too. So, for DECADES, supposed "hard" scientists, have blocked, and destroyed legitimate research that would LONG ago have answered many of these questions about the psychic and para-normal. Rhine's work was great for the Thirties. In the last SEVENTY YEARS, WHERE is all the research that should've followed his work? Suppressed by "legitimate" scientists, that's where. No one on the silver list can identify with this, right? So far, I am aware of hard, legitimate research (after reading hundreds of books on the topic) (sometimes multiple studies) proving: 1. Precognition (easy to prove for yourself, if you ever do dream analysis, you will find precognitive stuff periodically.) By the way, equations describing time DON'T have an "arrow" of time; ie, the equations run the same way backwards and forwards. We may "perceive" time to go only one direction, but that's not what the equations say. So, seeing stuff in the future may turn out one day to be no different than "remembering" things from the past. 2. Telepathy (Rhine proved this in the THIRTIES!) 3. Repeatable Telekinesis by ordinary people, over the decay of radioactive material. (This is very interesting, but too involved to go into here.) This experiment was repeated at several universities. There are numerous other examples. Hope this helps. Karl Kristianson karlkrist...@ntr.net -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
