Zero Point Energy Field

[Mercutio]

From the same magazine who brought the magnetic healing tripe, an earlier archived article you might enjoy, on the zero-point energy field. Again, the readers' comments are as interesting as the article itself.

An excerpt (hee hee!):

And where do clairvoyants get their visions? Physicist Hall Puthoff of Stanford University in the United States asked himself that very question. He conducted various experiments with two clairvoyants in which he gave them the coordinates of a place on earth they had never been. Independent from one another, the clairvoyants were able to describe these places in detail. To measure the extent of their clairvoyance Puthoff asked them to describe Jupiter before Nasa’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft had charted the planet. Somewhat embarrassed, clairvoyant Ingo Swann said he saw a ring around the planet. ‘Perhaps,’ he told Puthoff, ‘I may have accidentally directed my attention to Saturn.’ No one took the drawing seriously until some time later when Nasa released images from the spacecraft showing that, indeed, Jupiter had a ring.
The CIA has since shown interest in the extraordinary results of Puthoff’s research, which could potentially be used for espionage. As an experiment, CIA agent Christopher Green was sent up in an aeroplane with a piece of paper in his pocket on which three numbers were written. This was no problem for clairvoyant Pat Price, who was able to recite the numbers accurately, and in the right order. However, he said he felt a little nauseated. It later appeared that Green’s flight had run in to heavy turbulence.
Puthoff then conducted experiments in which he sent people to random coordinates and asked them to photograph the location in 15 minutes and fill in a list of questions he gave them. In nearly all cases, the clairvoyants were able to clearly describe the locations based on the coordinates they were given.
Puthoff went a step further. He asked the clairvoyants to describe the location before the test subjects arrived. And they did. The clairvoyants appeared capable of describing the destination a half-hour to five days before the travellers arrived. Puthoff concluded that time and space do not exist on the level of the Zero Point Field. The information is apparently already available before the actual events occur. Puthoff conducted a total of 336 comparable experiments proving it made very little difference to the clairvoyants whether or not the subjects were at the location in question.

Again more claims that would breeze through the JREF Million Dollar Challenge in about an hour.

If they were real.

I can't undertand why they don't apply. Have they been 'Puthoff' by the rigorous level of scrutiny. (sorry)

And the readers comments are frankly incredible (incredible yet credulous, how bizarre...).

I particularly like the one that says:

Consider poor George Washinton, drained of 9 pints of blood and fed mercury to cure a throat infection. His doctors couldn't understand why he died.That was "medicine's understanding" at the time. We will no doubt also be primitives in the eyes of the future born. The sceptics die and the paradigm changes...that's good news.

Wow! He makes it sound like it is sceptics holding back science!
What a moron.

This magazine Ode is heavy on the bullcrap isn't it.

But it's so sad the way people just throw away their brains when they read one short, incorrect, poorly researched, misleading article that has no scientific facts backing it up.
And all of them who prefess to be so amazes by it will probably have completely forgotten about it by next week.

The remind me of a child picking up shiny pebbles, fascinated by a pebble and loving it more than anything they have ever seen. Until they pick up the next one, then that becomes their new fabourite thing ever.
Eventually their minds become like the carrier bag full of pebbles that the child is lugging back to the car.
Burdened with useless things that they don't want to throw away, but that slow them down and don't help them in any way.
The child can't throw them away as they remember once liking them hugely, but they are too worthless to actually use.

But they were so pretty when they were shiny and new...

It would be interesting to make up some daft sounding story surround it with a load of unsubstantiated drivel and see how many nut jobs sign up to it...ooops looks like somebody already has!
