Yes, like blood disorders.
But I don't know about that, so I am going to try out some good test conditions such as screen. If you read my previous reply to your question but I will answer it again in the very same way. Some blood disorders have externally detectable symptoms. I'm surprised you don't realize that. If I had suggested blood disorders for a test, I'd be criticized for that. If you suggest blood disorders then nobody seems to react. I'll just say it again: some blood disorders can have detectable symptoms that show on the skin.
*sigh - tries to type very slowly*
Then a good idea might be to select ones that
don't have external detectable symptoms.
Gosh that was difficult to control for wasn't it.
That way we can eliminate aspects of cold reading and unconscious signals by the subject indicating a specific area.
I await your next reason why blood disorders (yes, ones not externally detectable) are not valid for your test.
ME: "That has become a bit of a mantra for you now.
It's simply unbelievable that you wouldn't yourself involve your University in this research (apart from the fact you have three times, plus an actual study involving the ideas!).
So the 'don't drag my school into this' plea is rather disengenuous."
I confided to them on a personal level. I do not want involvement beyond that.
You told three Professors, at least one a Professor of Physics about an ability that breaks the laws of physics... just on a personal level?
"My goodness Anita this sounds incredible!"
"No no I don't want a fuss. I don't want to test it."
"But this could change the face of Physics!"
"No I'll do that on my own. In the future."
"But how do you know that it is real?"
"Oh I know it is real. I just don't want to test it."
"So why did you tell me in the first place?"
"Just, you know, for personal reasons."
Me: "I notice one of them "expressed tremendous interest and curiosity in knowing more" but never took it any further themselves."
Why should they. Someone else is already doing the testing.
No they aren't no-one is.
And again this is a literally unbelievably cavalier attitude from Professors of science.
"My goodness this could change the face of Physics. Can I test this further?"
"No someone else already is."
"Oh well never mind." [walks off staring vacantly.]
And they were never even interested in contacting the skeptics group to offer support or help with subjects, testing, equipment or even out of vague curiosity?
ME: "Another thought it was "thermal information". What? He encounters a girl who can see thermal information, who apparently has receptors that operate outside of the visible EM spectrum and... also does nothing about it?"
Someone else is already testing for it. Besides I did not present the information to be taken as evidence. I just wanted to share an experience.
See above.
You don't want to involve your University. You just tell several Professors, engender their interest and then leave it there.
More incredibly so do they.
You told them just, you know, for no reason. Just sharing an experience. Take it or leave it. Whatever.
But when it comes to
us however... We have to accept everything you say, you reply over and over to try to convince us and claim to be doing all you can to run tests, you ask our opinion on scientific areas, you spend your entire Winter Break writing posts to us about it, you actually run impromptu tests...
I just cannot, cannot accept that if any of these Professors genuinely believed you, they would not have taken it further. If you trusted them enough to tell them about these paranormal abilities (despite the potentially negative connotations) then it is just utterly unbelievable you wouldn't trust them enough to run some simple tests.
If found to be real it would have hugely have assisted your professional life at college and subsequent career.
In reality you would
already be internationally famous.
