What is the controversy on pounds per square inch?

We have a very vague picture of how it works, not much of an idea of what it is. Look up 'quantum gravity', it's under very poor theoretical control in physics.

Funnily enough, I know Jaytee and his owner - the dog is named after the singer, James taylor btw. The dog used to go to the window about five minutes before the owner got home - she varied her return times but the dog always seemed to know when she was nearing home - this seems quite common in dogs though.

I thought we did know how gravity works, mass & distortion of space-time etc as demonstrated by gravitational lensing.

true!

Well said. The point is that for controversial subjects, as soon as we get an explanation, things get accepted but in the meantime, the evidence gets discarded. Funny old world, isn't it?

Yes indeed! we don't know how gravity works, but that doesn't mean we should dismiss the evidence for gravity!

I don't have an explanation for psi but I have to say it's incredibly arrogant to simply dismiss it just because you can't explain it. Do we really know everything about how the world works today?If a 15th century physicist came up with an experiment to show effects of electricity his colleagues would probably laugh at him. Perhaps they didn't know everything about how our world works?

Not to mention Bierman and Hameroff working on retro-PK which could account for a vast amount of these phenomena. To top it all, presentiment was also discovered in the original data of the gambling studies by Antonio Damasio, the results of which also demonstrate intuitive intelligence. There is much more research going on here but Ganzfeld has the best results.

PS. I asked you, "Which non-ganzfeld studies have you extensively examined for yourself?" - to which you replied with: "You seem to place credibility with sheldrake"Wait, what? While I do indeed find Sheldrake's work ot be *generally* solid, he is just one author out of many doing non-ganzfeld research. Others include (but are definitely not limited to) Liebert and Radin himself. Seriously, did you not watch this whole video? In this very video Radin mentions many non-ganzfeld researchers. |
