Scientific take on telekinesis

what does that mean?they are cheating people to earn money?

btw I see both of them in guinness record

LOL!! His toungue was in the wrong place. Yeah right. Or maybe he moved his toes. Uh-huh.

Do any of you remember PEAR - the ill-fated (and now deceased) Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research lab, that studied (among other things), "micropsychokinesis"? That includes stuff like seeing if the human mind could affect the output of a random binary generator.

It implies ghostly interference in lab studies ...

does it imply an inclination towards telepathy cos i see Einstein quoting a physicist about that.any one?

No. Accepting the methodology of the paper to be sound (which is never a given, when properly reading a paper you should read through the method to determine if it is correct) and accepting this to be true all it shows is that there is an unexplained statistical effect that should be investigated more. It is not evidence for the existance of anything on its own.

i agree to that. Btw any idea why this became defunct?

and any where is the further investigation carried upon?

According to John McCrone, "Operator 10," believed to be a PEAR staff member, "has been involved in 15% of the 14 million trials, yet contributed to a full half of the total excess hits" (McCrone 1994).

Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about PEAR is the fact that suggestions by critics that should have been considered were routinely ignored. Physicist Bob Park reports, for example, that he suggested to Jahn two types of experiments that would have bypassed the main criticisms aimed at PEAR. Why not do a double-blind experiment? asked Park. Have a second RNG determine the task of the operator and do not let this determination be known to the one recording the results. This could have eliminated the charge of experimenter bias. Another experiment, however, could have eliminated most criticism. Park suggested that PEAR have operators try to use their minds to move a "state-of-the-art microbalance" (Park 2008, 138-139). A microbalance can make precise measurements on the order of a millionth of a gram. One doesn't need to be clairvoyant to figure out why this suggestion was never heeded.
