UM-Bot Posted May 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (IP: Staff) · A new experiment is set to test the effectiveness of remote viewing and precognitive dreaming. The crowdfunded research effort, which aims to compare various unorthodox methods of predicting the stock market, is headed up by Professor Garret Moddel of the University of Colorado–Boulder and Dr. Julia Mossbridge of Northwestern University’s psychology department.

BeastieRunner Posted May 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Can remote viewing predict stock prices ? No. "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." Betteridge's Law of Headlines is a thing of the past I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted May 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It all depends on how a "hit" is defined. In the remote viewing I've seen a remote viewer attempted to claim that rhythmic and musical was a perfect description of a tornado. Will the test be set up so that anyone can see that the results are decidable? Will the test be set up so that the viewers cannot fall back on their usual excuses such as they happened to view an alternative universe? 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godnodog Posted May 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I doubt a quantum computer could accurately predict,, as there are too many variables and we don't know all of them, for all we know when we have a bad crop of apples in a particular small farm in France, Apple shares dropp by 0.5% Edited May 28, 2015 by godnodog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrLzs Posted May 28, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Obviously, by simple chance and the usual spread of coincidences, one 'method' will be a clear winner. If they have enough methods, then chances are that the winner's performance will be impressive... to someone who doesn't understand statistics and probability. I'd like to see all the controls they use, the nature of the analysis they apply, and also the repeated tests that show (or not..) that there really is one winning method... Me, I'd say the method will probably be - having a good knowledge of the market.... BTW, I thought I recognised one of the names, and I did. Julia Mossbridge is a member of ... the Institute of Noetic Sciences!!!! Woohhoooo, there's cred for you... </sarcasm> They are one of the organisations on Quackwatch's list... and the inimitable Dean Radin is also a member... When it comes to awful, biased, ridiculous and subjective experiments designed to give positive results, these folks are the masters of bad science... Go on, ask me what I really think... :td: I'd recommend anyone taking this seriously look VERY carefully at how the experiments are setup. If past experience is anything to go by, OBjectivity will be out the window, and SUBjectivity will rule.... But I'll grant you this, crowdfunding is a brilliant idea! There's no end of gullible people being born every minute who will lap this up, and given she won't get funding from the mainstream, then why not! (a bit more sarcasm....) 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfluder Posted May 30, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Not remotely possible. (couldn't resist) If this were possible, wouldn't investment companies have known the derivatives market was going to crash, and maybe not have needed to be saved from insolvency by the taxpayers a few years back? 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorvir Posted July 29, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Can a psychic give me winning lottery numbers? Ha! If they could, would you think that 1) they would share that info, or 2) more of them would actually be winning lotteries? No such thing as psychics, unless they actually enjoy tricking dumb people out of money instead of winning the big one. Guess if that's true, they couldn't be blamed for being lazy, could they?

stereologist Posted July 29, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I clicked on the crowd funding and it seems they cut their financial needs in half and now claim to be 105% funded at $26,000. I guess it became abundantly clear that the crowd was not going to pony up the 50K. Any money left over is going to be donated to the Seva foundation, which treats blindness. There are labs notes on some of the sites but all are restricted to donors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
