  • "New age clap trap." So what Science shouldn't progress then? The thing is even if the tests were favourable to Sheldrake and this doc was done unbiasedly, it wouldn't even air. That simple.

  • Wouldn't the dog's extraordinaire sense of smell explain the phenomena? I think all that happened was the dog smelling his owners coming home. Nevertheless, I do believe that animals do have a different perspective and "see" the world very differently.

  • I SPECULATE- the problem with trying to observe people having these experiences is that the observation & the consciousness of the observation somehow effects & interferes & blocks the spontaneous occurrence that happens to us when we are in a natural, unexpected state.So when we become self conscious & aware of being tested-our awareness shrinks because our attention is distracted into us & diminishes our openness & receptivity that occurs when we're in an organic, unselfconscious state

  • @catgumart much like the double split experiment when observation comes into play everthing changes like in tortion physics once everything gets spune up to speed it all changes

  • Well, the dog experiment should be done differently: In a controlled environment (i.e. lab) to dismiss other variables (e.g. the partner knows that the other person is coming home, and e.g. his/her heart rate changes, what is something that can be sensed by the dog).

    Sheldrake came out with that morphic theory, where a morphic field/energy cannot be measured or proven to exist, thus it enters the metaphysics/paranormal/pseudos­cience domain.

  • they should do a multi-part experiment where in one part there are 20/20 instances of not being stared at and the next part 20/20 instances of being stared at. then mix them up for some parts, but only a small percentage of one (2/20 ie.). In closed conditions like these it is way to easy to just guess that you're being stared at....

  • D to the M to the X

  • I love fanny

  • well a dog relies on a biological clock like humans. if you keep getting up at 7 in the morn for even like a couple weeks you tend to wake up before alarms or right on 7 cuz your body is used to getting up at that time. and if you come home at 5 ish every day or w.e your dog would work the sae way. and be used to u getting home. or the daily walk. or you for a daily , weekly of even monthly phone call or probable event. your minds unconsious thought has a graspe of time. not super powers.

  • The Vet is very smart!

  • Telepaty is real, but the dog's test seems dumb. Dogs can hear many things we can't, and smell many things we can't.

  • but smelling from when you get in a taxi cab? That's like they can single out your sounds out of the millions and billions of sounds between them.

  • Interesting point, But I guess it would be like when you are at noisy party and yet you are able to note what occrus next to you by excluding most of the background noise. I think telepaty and other mind abilities are exclusive to the human's more developed brain.

  • Once you accept that all creatures have energy bodies that are not bound by time or space then all these mysteries go away.

    We have just stopped using the ability to function this way. Its there for those who can reopen the channels.

  • @burmanhands Once you accept that all creatures have invisible elves that are not bound by time or space then all these mysteries go away.

  • I'm not sure he datamined that, he might've just said that as a buddy-buddy thing?

    he didn't actually say it showed a convincing result?

  • just because we're smarter than animals does not mean they are inferior to us

  • lol @ the n00b at 2:12

  • yupp ROFL

  • i believe that if you are expecting to be stared at, you wont get the same results as staring at someone who is not expecting to be stared at.

  • yes

  • Actually, I heard from my vet that it is a well-known phenomenon that cats seem to disappear just when it is time to take them to the vet for an appointment. I've had my own cat do that on at least four occasions, and I didn't even have the cat basket out.

  • Thank god for science!

  • LOL

  • These experiments are popularized. Come to think of it, these are about the same level as mythbusters or some other TV type experiments are done. Not fully scientific or peer reviewed.

  • see Journal of Consciousness Studies, volume 12, number 6, 2005. I have the entire issue (comprised of Sheldrake's opening case, following by 14 scientific commentaries, and then Sheldrake's reply). It's fascinating.

    also, the dog experiment was rather poorly done.

  • I think a few of the experiments were poorly conducted, but I'm not expert in this field. I was actually in one of them. Having said that, I found it genuinely interesting and must remember that the experiments conducted in this film were just an initial starting point.

    Good stuff.

  • @nonlocalkaviraj it should be done by a person walking through a park or mall and people set up all around that they dont no stare at them or the person can not even no there in an experiment and ask them what they thought felt while on a night/day out with a friend and the friend there out with can document it because you know a person will tell there friend if they think someone is starring at them
