Another "psychic" on Larry King, this Friday

So.. where does this say anything specifically about predicting a death? She'd need to define specifically what she means by "events".

I'll take a stab at what she means by "event" but I may be wrong:

"Any event that emits sufficient energy for me to pick it up correctly. If I get it wrong then it obviously is not an event as the energy was not strong enough for me to get it correct" :D
 
Char's Appearance on Larry King

I have to admit, even Larry King had a couple of "Oh, come on!!" moments there.

As I have never seen her before the appearance on Larry King, I might have judged her prematurely but my first impression of her wasn't a good one. Alex Tanous was "hard to beat" but he has since passed on so I don't think he is discussed in this forum.

Events is a vague word. To test her claim we'd have to ask for specifically the type of events she claims she can predict.

She has specified what kind of events she can predict by using the word "foresee". She can predict future events and she did right in my opinion because there is a good possibility for people to think that she can predict

this
Event: The link between the behavior that a component wants to react to and the code that tells the application how to respond. Java differentiates between the source of an event (the provider) and the handler for an event (what to do).

In NonStop™ DOM and JORB, an asynchronous message sent by one object to another.

In Distributed System Management (DSM), an error or other occurrence of significance to the operator, described in a message from a software subsystem to the Event Management Service (EMS).

this
Event:Any action, often generated by a user or an ActiveX control, to which a program might respond. Typical events include pressing a keyboard key, choosing a button by using a mouse click, and other mouse actions. Programmers write code to respond to these actions.

or that

Event
Generic term for a signal occurring in the detector. For the X-ray cameras, the deposition of an X-ray in the CCD produces signal charge, which is eventually registered when the matrix of pixel charges are read out to external electronics. Anything registered above the threshold level of these electronics might also be considered an event, for example the detection of a cosmic ray or proton, gamma ray, or other noise source. In the OM, the desirable signal event is of course the detection of an optical photon. In the science documents, event is used synonymously with "photon" and "count"
kind of events...

:rolleyes:
