Well, anyone? Do you have any paranormal powers? Can they be reproduced in a controlled test environment?

PM me, and I'll arrange a test. If it succeeds, you will win $1,000,000.

Simple as pie.

All I ask for is the exclusive interview and book rights.

Anonymity is not an option, I will need your real name and contact info to submit the test application, which has to be signed by a notary public.

Are you saying that you have paranormal abilities, but don't want to collect a million dollars because you don't want to divulge your identity?

Guess you don't need the money, must be nice.

Tell you what, just PM me with an e-mail (just make up a free one like Netscape or Yahoo), don't use your real name. I'll have my attorney e-mail you with the application form for the test and the publishing rights agreement.

I will also split the screenplay and movies rights with you 50/50.

Deal?

Its funny how ppl use the excuse "I need to practice more and get better". Why? Your powers dont have to be strong, they just have to exist...

Kazuma

Jun 28 2006, 10:25 PM

Because right now I can hardly make the psiwheel twitch most of the time, and that's just by myself. Imagine how much pressure I'd be under with people watching me. I know I just wouldn't be able to do it.

That's why I'm going to practice until it requires very little concentration; so then, even if I get nervous, I can just concentrate a little, and it would spin.

In December 1989 Dean Radin of Princeton's Psychology Department and Roger Nelson of the PEAR lab published a paper on the meta-analysis of micro-PK experiments not, as might be expected, in a parapsychology journal but in the respected physics journal Foundations of Physics. Their paper was entitled, 'Evidence for consciousness-related anomalies in random physical systems.' In their analysis, Radin and Nelson tracked down 152 reports describing 597 experimental studies and 235 control studies by 68 different investigators involving the influence of consciousness on microelectronic systems.

Radin and Nelson's studies showed that the aggregate of all these trials dramatically provided powerful evidence for micro-PK. For they found that the odds against the overall result being the result of chance was 1 in 10 to the power of 35.

To understand how unlikely it is that this result was obtained by chance, it is like finding a lottery ticket in the street, finding that it is the winning ticket and you have won first prize of millions -- and then continuing to find the winning lottery in the street every week for a thousand years.

That such findings continue to be dismissed shows more clearly than anything could that the "skeptics" are not evaluating the data with extra care -- they are in denial.

Funny... I just watched a TV program about telepathy... This "psychic" who said she could read peoples minds couldnt, when she was put to the test... she used a similar excuse... then went off to bury herself by saying that telepathy works by "hunches" and feelings which arent always accurate... funny enough, her "telepathy" didnt work when the subject was placed out of view of the claimant...

From his own site:

http://www.deanradin.com/para2.html#ninea

All he's doing is the old flipping coins and predicting heads/tails trick, except he's using a more efficient RNG (random number generator).

Anyone who has ever played the slot machines in casino knows that they are based on a similar RNG chip inside the machine. If you play long enough you might notice "strings of luck" or unluck

That's just the way the RNG works, It's completely random. Each state (U.S.) has their own Department of Gaming to monitor these RNG chips to make sure the payout percentage is set appropriately.

It's completely random people. I would e-mail Dean but I'm sure he doesn't need the money either since he's obviously laughing his way to the bank with all the loot from using psi to affect the output from the RNG.

I have seen jackpots pay off several times within an hour. The odds of that are astronomical, but they happen, because you guessed it, it's completely random.

Or course you only witness these events if you spend way too much time at the casinos (guilty)

Tell you what, just for fun, I will e-mail Dean Radin and ask him if he wold like to make another $1,000,000 by submitting his claims to a test. I'll let you know what his reply is, if any.

Why is it considered a random number generator if all it generates is ones and zeroes? That's not random.

But anyway, does Dean practice Micro telekinesis?

http://www.random.org/essay.html

"True random numbers are typically generated by sampling and processing a source of entropy outside the computer. A source of entropy can be very simple, like the little variations in somebody's mouse movements or in the amount of time between keystrokes"

There is a RNG in every pc and Mac

This is how you are able to send encrypted e-mail, by using the random "salt" or "seed" it produces.

Dean is a major player in the world of psi-ops. http://www.deanradin.com/CRL.htm
He worked on the classified research on psi for the US government at SRI International in 1985, STAREGATE program. http://www.lfr.org/

This is a common misconception. The computers have no such device. Instead RGN's are emulated in software. The correct name for that capability is Pseudo Random Number Generator. Serious researchers never rely on that type of technology because it's not really random.

This is good advice. That is why I suggested those who are interested should create a new e-mail account, using bogus info, and PM me with it.

However, if even that is not enough, I will create a website with the pertinent documents to download for anyone who is still interested.

That way they can PM me for the URL to download and remain perfectly anonymous.

Redhen,

There are supernatural abilities that I've proven to family, friends, and co-workers, but the involvement of money with spirituality impedes the willingness of skeptics and the general public at large to accept the legitimacy of the paranormal. Besides, not everyone wants millions of dollars when the cost is one's privacy and peace of mind.

The healing ability is consistently reproducible, but the remote viewing is not. Most often, the person being healed experiences pain relief only. But pain relief is not scientifically measurable. I did achive a measurable result with a lupus sufferer in 2000 who had chronic pain, redness, and swelling in her arm for 2 straight days. The pain was gone in about 5 seconds: the redness and swelling within 5 to 10 minutes.

I couldn't promise you a measurable result; the word of the person having his/her pain alleviated does not qualify as such.

Regards,
Brian

Redhen and Megalomania,

You may be interested to read the summary in the link below, regarding a urologist by the name of Dr. Eric B. Robins and what he refers to as "Pranic Healing". Like him, I wave my hands over the one being treated, and human touch during the process has no benefit.

You will find Dr. Robins associated not only with alternative medicine sources, but also mainstream medical sites. Despite the nature of his profession, there is no graphic content included in the brief article.

Well, amazingly I already got a reply from Dean Radin. He explains why his psi experiments are not conducive to the James Randi Challenge.

"Such prizes are designed for individuals who make strong claims that are most unlikely to be true, so the prizes are safe as long as that they are aimed at such claims. By contrast, the scientific evidence is quite real, and independently repeatable, but the effects are still probabilistic and their magnitude generally so small that the effort required to demonstrate them would cost more than the prizes. I do expect that some day more robust effects will be discovered that can win the prizes. See, for example, what arch-skeptic Richard Dawkins is saying about these prizes: http://www.skepticalinvestigations.org/exa...zing3.htm"

Dean is currently the Senior scientist at http://www.noetic.org/index.cfm

Chris,

To whom are you speaking? Also, you may want to modify your signature phrase:

"If you free your mind you can do anything."

Doing anything with one's free mind points to a strong level of will.

Finally, I can re-create hiccups at will. Sadly, I can't accept payment for that psychic phenomenon either. To what E-mail address shall I send the WAV file?

It's amusing that lack of response to threads such as, "Guess tomorrow's winning lottery numbers to prove that you're psychic.", or "Who wants 1 million dollars?" results without fail in responses from skeptics the likes of, "I guess no one's psychic."

What some skeptics fail to consider is that a large percentage of those with paranormal abilities don't view them as something that they have the right to sell. God has the copyright so to speak, and we are mere end-users: delegates meant to share His wonders, not profit from them.

Most who actually have the abilities will argue that everyone is psychic. Being psychic is our nature, but it is too often slaughtered to near extinction in most children by society's false programming.

Hello, Faryn,

I was speaking more to the skeptics than the "psychics". Diversity is seldom considered, this being the point of my initial paragraph. When one is unable to guess the lottery numbers, to claim that he is not psychic is akin to denying that a welder possesses welding skills because he can't install plumbing.
