161. Correcting the past: failures to replicate ψ

J Pers Soc Psychol. 2012 Dec;103(6):933-48. doi: 10.1037/a0029709. Epub 2012 Aug 27. Correcting the past: failures to replicate ψ. Galak J, Leboeuf RA, Nelson LD, Simmons JP. Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Avenue, Office 381-D, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA. jgalak@cmu.edu Abstract Across 7 experiments (N = 3,289), we replicate the procedure of Experiments 8 and 9 from Bem (2011), which had originally demonstrated retroactive facilitation of recall. We failed to replicate that finding. We further conduct a meta-analysis of all replication attempts of these experiments and find that the average effect size (d = 0.04) is no different from 0. We discuss some reasons for differences between the results in this article and those presented in Bem (2011).

163. Italy earhquake premonitions

Name: perispri: Foresee: I am in Italy, began to break down historic church bells ringing noise when I look back I see the destruction of the bridge is a suspension bridge on the bridge before the bridge that keeps the feet then he did not understand earhquake, road crashes. 01 November 2010 Your name: Your love: Foresee: Italy? name blooded ... Image of a cloud of dust .. italy red letter?? 30.07.2011 Your name: Your love: Foresee: rain. A dark, misty weather .. the wind .. the sounds of children crying .. earthquake, descending the stairs with the baby in her arms painted black with blue-haired woman ... ITALY-ENGLAND-IZMIR .. names ..! 20.04.2010 Name: Ezoterica: Dream Foresee: June 4, Saturday morning, I saw an image: Very close to the South of Italy or South Asia at a time (a long boot image of the country's south, such as geological). A violent earthquake .. 04.06.2010

166. Is Belief In Telepathy Unscientific?

Rigorous experiments seem to suggest that ESP and mental telepathy are real, yet these phenomena are rejected as hoaxes by mainstream science, because belief in mind reading would contradict the most basic laws of our understanding of reality. Or would it? Via Reality Sandwich, Chris Carter argues that telepathy and quantum physics go hand-in-hand:

168. Saddam’ın Uzaktangörü ile Aranışı

Stephan Schwartz’ın yaptığı ve İstanbul Parapsikoloji Toplantısında sunduğu sonuçlara göre, Saddam yakalanmadan önce, 3 Kasım 2003 tarihine kadar 47 durugörü kaydı yapmışlar ve Saddam yakalanan kadar dosyalarda, noter tasdiki ile saklanmış veriler. CIA’den de bazı görevliler konuyu ilgi ile takip etmişler. Bütün uzaktangörüler başarılı olmamasına karşın, başarılı olanlar dikkat çekicidir. Bu öngörüler içinde Tikrit’te bir nehre yakın ve kötü bir yolun yakınında olduğunu tespit etmişler.

169. Twitter experiment casts doubt on psychic 'remote viewing'

More than 7,000 people took part in the study designed to test people's ability to "see" distant locations. During the 1970s the CIA spent £12.5 million looking into remote viewing with a view to conducting "psychic spying" missions against the Soviet Union. But the "Twitter" experiment led by psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, found no evidence that such an ability exists. During the study, the first to be carried out via the instant messaging service, Prof Wiseman travelled to four target locations in the UK and asked participants to "Tweet" their thoughts and impressions about the spot he was visiting. olunteers were then messaged with the address of a website on which they could see photographs of five locations – the target location and four decoys.

170. Photon reaches from beyond the grave in quantum trick

EINSTEIN mockingly called it "spooky action at a distance": the finding that quantum particles can influence each other regardless of how far apart they are. We can only imagine his horror at a new experiment that extends the idea to time by entangling a pair of photons that never coexisted. As well as expanding the reach of quantum theory's baffling implications, the experiment could improve long-distance cryptography. At the heart of the phenomena is entanglement, in which the quantum states of two entities become linked. The implications of this for spatially distant particles stumped even Einstein, but things got still stranger last year. Joachim von Zanthier of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany and his colleagues showed that, in principle, entanglement could also work for particles that have never existed at the same time (Optics Letters, doi.org/bdwpsj). Now Hagai Eisenberg of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel and colleagues have done the experiment, via a process called an entanglement swap. If you have two pairs of entangled photons, taking one photon from each pair and entangling them disengages the two original pairs, and creates a second, fresh entanglement between the two, left out photons. Eisenberg's team used the swap to entangle a photon with one that no longer existed. They started with an entangled pair of photons, 1 and 2, and then measured the quantum state of photon 1, which destroys the particle. Photon 2, however, lived on and, about 100 nanoseconds later, the team created a new pair of entangled photons, 3 and 4. When the team entangled photon 2 with newborn photon 3, photon 4 also became entangled with photon 1 - even though 1 was by then "dead" (see diagram). The team knew 4 was entangled with 1 by measuring 4's state, which depended on the states measured for 1, 2 and 3 (arxiv.org/abs/1209.4191v1). "Without the idea of entanglement, you cannot explain it," says von Zanthier, who was not involved in the latest experiment. "The future photon, which is not born, is strongly influenced by a photon that is already dead." The result could boost quantum cryptography, in which entangled photons are used to transmit a secret key for ciphers. Entanglement makes the process secure because if a photon is intercepted, its partner registers this, allowing the key to be ditched. Entanglement swapping can enable the process over enormous distances. Take an entangled pair, 1 and 2, created in London. Photon 2 can be sent to Paris, where an entanglement swap with another pair, 3 and 4, takes place. Photon 4 is now entangled with 1 - still in London - and can then be sent to Berlin. Quantum communication between London and Berlin is now possible, even though no single photon has travelled that distance. The process can be extended by further swaps, all the way to Beijing, say. But currently, London would have to hold on to its photons until the chain is complete - which gets trickier as the total distance increases. The new experiment shows that London can measure its photons well before Beijing's even exist. "London can already start working," says Johannes Kofler of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany. "That's cool."
