Experiments in Unconventional Physics
Was looking for information on experiments in unconventional physics, 'Orgon
Energy' (the work of
Wilhelm Reich), 'Scalar Field Potential (Telsa, Bearden..) and in improbable
coincidence.
Not really interested in theories or opinions, but in experimental design,
with apparatus,
methodology and results. It seems to me that the quackery of theory without
suggestions of
experimental predictions that can confirm, deny or demolish theories is
a poor use of the human
mind and of the scientific method.
If anyone has information about, or suggestions of quantitative experiments
or would like to
participate as experimenters, on experiments that can be performed on a
reasonable budget of
scientific inquiry please post.
Here are some sample experiments, please comment freely on ways to do them,
or other
experiments that will confirm, deny or demolish the theory.
1)Growing sets of seedlings under the double-blind condition that some
that may be on top of an
orgon accumulator, but that the tender of the plants does not know which
one may or may not be
under the influence of the accumulator(a layered, organic, inorganic pillow
of steel wool and cotton).
2) If any experiments have been performed on whether a 'Cloud-buster or
any imposed condition
or apparatus can accelerate the radio-active decay rate of a known isotope.
Observing the beta and
alpha decay of a pitchblende sample under the double-blind influence of
a'cloud-buster, which is a
set of metallic tubes connected conductivity to running water (unsure if
being part of an ecosystem
matters).
3) I have a recollection of a story of an experiment, where people where
placed at a computer
keyboard and asked to press a key whenever they felt like it, and the computer
would generate a
pseudo-random number using the time, key pressed as variables to determine
the random number
seed. One group was asked to consciously wish for even numbers, another
odd numbers and the
third given no explicit instruction. The results from dozens of were supposedly
a very slight shifting
of the even/odd distribution in the direction of the desired, but that
is was statistically significant at a
very high confidence level because many subjects pressed the keys so many
times....
Is this merely a psychic myth, or can anyone point to a researcher who
did this experiment, or
source of the story.
To reproduce it, I suggest an MS Windows/Visual Basic program, given over
the Internet that
flashes the desired result on a screen and then generates the result on
the next key-stroke, recording
the variables used to determine the seed number & desired result, encoding
it for storage,
transmission and collecting a large group of users ~ 1500 who spent at
least an hour each playing
with probability
. 4) Determine the speed of travel of a 'scalar wave created by a caduceus
coil, and received by an
aligned caduceus coil by measuring the time delay on a high performance
oscilloscope with equal
lengths leads between the signal at the beginning of the transmitter coil
and the end of the receiving
coil.
If persons would like to participate in experiments, or once interesting
results that can be duplicated
are then interested in developing or shooting down theories, please e-mail
to kbreslau@direct.ca
