I'm a retired electrical engineer and software developer.
Not at the present, but I may add advertising.
1. We are recruitng a large number of "believers" through reddit.
2. We get a small number of "high quality" data points from each visitor, avoiding burnout.
3. All random numbers are stored making it possible to check for hidden trends and errors.
4. The "physics" are always alligned with the intended direction.
5. It appears the psychic force had a positive/negative polarity and people have a vague idea which polarity they have. We include this by asking the participant if they are "lucky" or "unlucky" before starting the test. After the test we multiply their result by -1 if they choose unlucky when including it in the total. Doing this greatly improves the results!!
If it reaches z=3 (99.9% certainty), I will write it up and submit the paper to the Jounal of Parapsychology.
The effect, averaged over all participants, is 1%, meaning that the psychic force is changing 1 out of 100 coin tosses
The score is the effect (here about 1%) divided by the probability of getting the same result by chance (i.e. without any psychic effect). As more tests are taken the latter becomes smaller and smaller so the Z score gets larger.
He was looking for a way to prove the existance of psychic phonema scientifically, to prove the existance of something beyond the current laws of physics. Science as it exists, is quite pessimistic. Under the current laws of physics there is no after life, no heaven, hell or reincarnation. Likewise mankind will never leave the solar system. The distances are too great, we can't produce the energy needed to make the trip in a reasonable time plus our bodies are too fragile to survive the trip. If we could find some "new physics" a brighter future may be possible.
This test involves random results. This makes it difficult to separate what is "luck" from a "psychic effect". The effect in the PEAR study was very small, on average the operators were only able to influence about 1 out of 1000 coin tosses! In this study we are seeing about 1 out of 100 coin tosses effected. Its a small but very sigificant result!! Please don't expect a big result.
No. If there is no "psychic effect" then all the tests are unconnected or uncorrelated events and the order that you do them has no effect on the outcome. This is similar to the "gamblers ruin problem.
In the PEAR study the influence was only 0.1%, which is less than the "house advantage". In addition my machine uses a "true physical random number generator" while most computers and games use a "pseudo random number generator" which isn't truly random and cannot be influened.
Under the current laws of physics there is no way that the human brain can influence an outside object or another brain using the "known forces of nature", i.e. gravatational, electromagnetic or nuclear forces. On the other hand since the events being changed are random, changing them does not break any laws of physics.
There are exciting new theories which could, some day explain it. For example these...
Information as a fifth state of matter.
The brain is a quantum computer.
The advances in artificial intelligence over the past few years are amazing. However science still does not understand how the human brain is able to learn so rapidly with so little "training data" or "training circuits/algorithyms".(For example back propagation, a technique used in artificial intellignece is not available in animal brains).
