/sci/ - Science & Math

I know that I'm probably shadow banned because everytime I post anything majorly thought provoking i never get a single reply.

I have a thought experiment to do with science and when trying to prove / disprove people who have psychic abilities.

I'll use telekinesis as an case study for my thought experiment.

The proof of psychic abilities is loosely defined as a person being able to exert a force by thought or willpower alone.

In any such case where anyone who claims to have said abilities he will no doubt be examined by other humans.

If the experiment was conducted with the intention of actually determining if PEOPLE have this ability instead of just a singular claiment, then the experiment would have to take into considering that those involved in the experiment would also be exerting a force upon any object within the experiment. This is due to the object being the subject of the people involved in the experiments thoughts or willpower.

This would mean to me that these experiments are not unbiased and all fail to take this into account rendering the expirment null and void.

I believe that these experiments should be undertaken with the same kind fo care that any quantum experiment would be performed where everything should be done to isolate observers and their intents and willpowers from the objects being tested.
