Twitrere ikke “fjernsynske”
Richard Wiseman har akkurat annonsert resultatene etter et eksperiment med “remote viewing ved hjelp av Twitter.
Ikke overraskende var det ingen “fjernsynsk” suksess å spore her heller:
In the first trial I was looking up at a striking, modern-looking building. Unfortunately, the group voted for some woods.
On trial two I was sitting in the middle of a playground, but the group thought I was standing at the foot of a long stairway. The third trial found me under an unusual-looking canopy; the group voted for a graveyard.
On the final trial I stared intently at a red postbox. The group believed that I was standing at the side of a canal. In short, all four trials were misses.
Skeptikere var ikke mer synske enn de som trodde de var synske, og de som var sikrest på evnene var heller ikke bedre: “This sub-group of participants also scored zero out of four.”
Ingen bombe. Det mest interessante er kanskje synliggjøringen av at Twitter kan fungere i denne typen forsøk.
