I'm pleased that you are doing that. The experiment will be more in the spirit of the scientific method. My setup may not be perfect but I can't think of a problem with it at the moment. All I am trying to do is eliminate the obvious causes to get closer to the phenomenon, if there is one and you are starting to go the right way about it.
Can you make these things actually spin around? Is that your claim? I mean actually spin, not move a little and then settle, move a little and settle etc. If so can you do it under cover of a container? Can you make these things actually spin and complete several rotations because in your video it only moves a little bit.
I need to try to explain something that I feel is quite important. I have no emotional investment in outcomes. I have no rigid belief system. I have an attatchment to the method used to find a truth, the scientific method. Outcomes can change my beliefs if the scientific method is adhered too. That's seems to be the big difference between a skeptic and a believer. The skeptic is true to the method and loses nothing if he is proved wrong. Quite the opposite in fact - we gain something new. I am happy to find something new if it is discovered by the correct means. I find the problem with believers in all kinds of things is that they start with the positive belief and try to make it fit with their world and their practices.
I do not work like that. My investment is in the tool, not the outcome. I want you to have TK I just don't believe it.
That method would be fine if you can prove the seal with the dryer.
Heartagram,
Could we start by you saying how you intend to make the wheel behave before you start making the video for I feel that this is vitally important. Can you make it spin? Can you say in which direction? I'd be happy with you just saying that it will complete at least <insert figure> rotations and then come to rest. Or that it will spin fast and then when you stop TK it will slow to a stop.
What I'm trying to say is "What do you claim you can do to a psi wheel?" This is very important. We need a claim before we start and we need to agree upon what constitutes success.
How bout, since the sealed container may take a while...I agree to make a vid, in 3-4 days....Just a plain psi vid like my last one...But this time, I'll give everyone a heads up as to what way the wheel will spin...Even if it just moves a little bit,you'll have some agenda as to what is should do...Showing I have some control...How bout, left, right, left , left, right?
And, I cna make them do full roations, I have a screwy psi Wheel though, I'll make a new one for this vid, cause the problem with my current wheel, is it falls off balance, and then it wont spin...
