The discussion revolves around a remote viewing test initiated by a forum member, Zero, who invites participants to describe a mystery object inside a bag filled with shipping peanuts. The first correct description wins a Physics Forum T-shirt. Participants engage with humor and skepticism, offering various guesses about the object, ranging from mundane items to whimsical suggestions. There is a notable debate about the validity and methodology of remote viewing, with some participants arguing that proper protocols should be followed for a legitimate test. Others express frustration over perceived mockery of the test, emphasizing the need for serious engagement with the topic. The conversation also touches on the complexities of remote viewing as a practice, including the influence of personal skill and the importance of double-blind procedures. Overall, the thread highlights a mix of playful speculation and serious inquiry into the nature of remote viewing and its potential validity.

Big diode? Magnetron or similar? Though I do like FZ+ guess.

Similar in one sense...it’s an X-ray tube. This of course produces X-Rays due to electrons impacting the anode rather than by forcing curved paths as in a magnetron. You can see the rotating anode assembly - the disc and the long bearing/motor below. If you look closely you can see the pitting of the anode's surface. The brass cathode assembly is about 3/4" above the anode. The emissions window can also be seen etched into the glass adjacent to the cathode.

When I was in college, I heard a story about an ill equipped physics bachelor using an electrical Xformer [in a pinch] as a potato masher. I suppose this x-ray tube could be used as a juicer if put into the right hands...like those of FZ+.

Yeah... and just to think that in the wrong hands, someone might even think it would be useful in a xray machine!
 
  • #95
Or even (suspenseful music; go down)...
















































A HIDDEN OBJECT FOR OTHERS TO TRY TO PSYCHICALLY SEE! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Scary, huh? What kind of sick, demented, twisted, sadistic mind would even think of doing THAT?!

(LOL, I think I'm quite funny )

Oh! That explains a lot, but I will continue to do it anyway. LOL!
Does this mean you don't think it was funny?

It was funny until you congratulated yourself. The funniest people are always those who seem not to realize they're funny. But this is getting OT. Let me, therefore, say "X-ray" to get it back on topic.

Anyone who reads my threads might have guessed at something from my background in medical equipment..x-ray in particular. So in spite of the unusual choice of objects here, it was possible that we would get a slightly informed lucky guess. For example, were Zooby to run a test like this, I would have guessed that he had a human brain in the bag. I think I would have stood a good chance of winning.

You, or the person(s) or device used to package the object in a bag, are that object, (assuming that is, that it can be proven that there is a bag), if you were me. That object would be me. If you had sealed the bag shut and had not otherwise been provided with an atmosphere, you would also be dead. You are buying yourself a T-shirt. The object is yourself. Or myself. See Special Relativity.

I would rather have the million dollars. I could pay all of my bills and buy all of the T-shirts I needed, as well as hand out a free T-shirt to at least 1,000 people.

remote control for a mechanical system?

well my guess may be dumb or crazy, ingnorant, stupid, inferior or lazy, but a black platic bag is what I would use.
 
  • #103
Damn. It's been so long that I've forgotten what I voted it to be. By my psychic powers tell me it's "Disk/Planar".

Ah, cool there was a thread for this and it was just hidden away. I should learn to search for things before posting about them. =]

I'm very interested in setting up a test, and I'm relatively new to this site, so no one knows me.

The thing I have a problem with though, is that only the person that creates the test could know whether or not there was corruption in the validity of the experiment. The harshest of skeptics would still say that RV isn't real, and the only way to prove it to them, is for them to set up the test themselves. So, what is the perfect test of RV to prove it to yourself?

Also, make sure that people are actually researching Remote Viewing and figuring out its complexities, Anyone that just reads the post for the test and does no research on the subject wouldn't know how much interference can affect whether you're able to see the target.

I think that to reduce the effect of knowing the person's tendencies, the next version of the RV test should involve the judge choosing an unnamed 3rd party to select the object.
 
  • #106


Or just make it double blind so that know one knows until its revealed.
 
  • #107


Is it a dark coloured sweater/blanket?
 
  • #108


its already been revealed, another test coming soon depending on interest
