Intro to Science of Scams

Maybe science is magic

[ryourhm]

I can tell your both atheist. Pretty much Atheists are the most skeptical type of people.

(please begin reading from 1st post) ... of the massive amount of evidence is forced to admit that "something interesting is going on." If you truly want to become informed about the field of parapsychology, a discipline formally recognized by the American Association of Scientists as a legitimate field of study, you can start by watching this video by prominent parapsychologist Dean Radin on youtube: "Science and the taboo of psi"

[Janotheknight]

(please begin reading from 1st post) ... tens of thousands of laboratory experiments on everything from telepathy, precognition, and micro-psychokinesis to field consciousness, the-feeling-of-being-stared-at­, and clairvoyance. For example, a meta-analysis conducted by senior psi researcher Dean Radin of all the ganzfeld telepathy experiments over the past century revealed odds of over 29 quintillion to 1 (chance). ANYONE who has performed an unbiased review...(continued on next post)

"There's actually no solid scientific evidence for any of it" I'm sorry, but that is 100% misinformation and it reflects the common public misconception that all evidence for paranormal phenomena is constricted to a few unreliable anecdotes. Actually, parapsychologists have collected MILLIONS of fascinating stories, but those in themselves do not constitute the evidence. The field of parapsychology has existed for more than a century and has produced... (continued on next post)

Ohh, you try to explain everything with science??? I think you would like to visit indonesia sometimes.. coz it's very supernatural here, you can see ghost everywhere!!! and sometimes we get along with them.. and about magic, they (badguy) usually use it to make money, to make them stronger, to hurt other or even to kill their enemy.. it's happening here, and it's real...

[Cernoise]

'There's actually no solid scientific evidence for any of it'

'Events which appear to be paranormal phenomena, but in fact they're all based upon real scientific principles'

The second quote (and indeed the definition of 'paranormal') implies that anything based on scientific principles is not a paranormal phenomenon, which would make the first quote redundant. There's no scientific evidence by definition.

I don't believe in the paranormal, I'm just pointing out the tautology.

[mrjedidja]

I want to believe we are not the only life in cosmos, but that's just that, will to believe.

[Emblemz]

can they explain evp??? and i dont want them to take stupid examples either.... a reasonable evp footage and a reasonable explanation :)

i believe ufos are out there... and i believe we are "not!!" the only life here on this planet in the solar system....

[Longmachao]

There are explanation for EVP out there. Plausible explanation, not the dead are talking to me bullshit. And Yea of course there a great chance that there are other life form on other planets. But as of yet , we have to assume we're the only one unless you have proof. The burden of proof is on you. If not, then i could easily say i believe there are pink unicorns hiding underground in the moon.

[0932486509]

Well at least UFO's are plausible. Look at what we've accomplished in just 100 years and now imagine what things might look like in 3000 years. Quantum Physics has already discovered faster than light particles that still obey Einsteins theory of relativity.

[TheWillwillwill]

The fact that consciousness effects quantum experiments is paranormal. Get a grip. Science is so messed up.. Electromagnetism is intergral to everything, but it is left out of mainstream cosmology and it is quantum.

what is the song in the video i hear it on loads of documentrys

[chispinit]

If you are going to call it "The science of scams" you should get a real scientist, not Kat with her bachelors degree in science. The science in the psi wheel debunking video is wrong!

[PaulBegnocheJr]

my quija works and i have recordings blow me non believers

[RPNova]

Wow! Somebody has some subjective evidence! I'm going to convert right now!

Please learn what does and doesn't count as evidence.

And then try again.

[TheWillwillwill]

Nice Comment!!!!

Humansuse INTUITION to see things at a deeper level. A few can use their art to accomplish extraordinary physical and mental feats eg Yogis, martial artists, etc. Some humans have such unique powers naturally! They don't need or have to prove anything to anyone. You should be inviting people to OPEN their minds to their highest potential NOT inviting fear and cynicism. Psychic research police bodies are paid to DIS those who have special powers. Hope yu wake up soon.

[JayEffW]

Is this conclusion really open minded: "I can't explain it therefore he must be psycic!"? I think not. Open mindedness means giving the psycic a chance to prove themselves - which they almost always fail to do. If they can't disprove the (proven?) scientific explanation, it's completely up to the watcher to chose what to believe in. I, for my part, go for the scientific explanation, yet I consider myself open minded, cause as soon as anyone can prove their abilities, I'll be sure to believe it.

[mcmoogol]

"almost always fail"? I think you can remove the 'almost'.

[bzeliotis]

continued ...There are many paradoxes unexplained by science and the best of scientists when they get together propose THEORIES to explain these mysteries.

Sure there are scams, always have been , always will be but who are you ..the police?!

[bzeliotis]

The problem is that by shuting off your irrational mind you'd be incapable of seing or hearing 'extraordinary explanations and facts'.

The real motivations for your programs are not as you purport to punish and expose fraud but your own fear of the unknown! Science can not measure everything nor do REAL scientist pretend to understand everything logically.
