Moderated Energy, Heat, Healing, Magnetic

And you do not think the thread will flail off in all directions once the difficulties of testing healing abilities become clear?

That's why it's on moderated status.

I do understand you, but I do not think the task at hand is to perform a test for the JREF Challenge, but to help a person who knows nothing about physics, and who might very possibly have problems of his own.

Unfortunately, this is the MDC section, and has to be kept strictly on topic: therefore the challenge to thread posters is twofold.
 
Howdy, AW --

JG weighing in again. Been away a while -- work & kid, don't you know. ; )

I know other people have said this, but I just wanted to say that I think that you should start VERY simply and work your way up.

Remember that according to the rules of the Challenge, you have to bear ALL of the costs of your demonstration. If you have to find "broken" people, then get them all into a controlled environment to heal them, YOU will be paying for their transportation and lodging. If a doctor will be required to look the people over before & after your demonstration (which is likely), YOU will have to pay for the doctor's time. And so forth. That's going to get expensive.

And simple. We're also looking for simple. Because what we want to do is demonstrate that you are doing something that can't be explained by ANYthing else. We want a test so obvious, so cut & dry, that there can be absolutely NO doubting that you're achieving the effect paranormally. No placebo effect or confirmation bias. Something like broken bones. Can you heal, by touch, a broken bone? Remember, you are going to have to pay for the time and transportation of any test subject(s) in question, the time of the doctor(s), and for x-rays.

If you still want to pursue healing, then by all means do so -- but do come up with a list of things that you can heal. We'll try to figure out which ones would be the simplest -- and least expensive.

BUT -- if you can do more than one thing, then try picking something that is cheaper to test. For example, you mention that you can control the wind:



Since you say "not only", this implies that you can cause the air in a room to flow in a chosen direction. Is that correct? At what rate can you make the air move? Could you knock over an object across the room? How light does the object have to be? Could you, say, knock over an empty 2 liter soda bottle?

How precise can you move the airflow? If I were to set up, say, three soda bottles, could you knock over just one of them?

See where I'm going with this? The test would consist of you, possibly a friend, and some empty 2 liter soda bottles. The only thing you'd have to pay for is transportation & lodging of you and your buddy (and possibly some soda bottles) to/at the test site. If there's a proctor in your area, there'd be practically no cost at all. AND it would give you the "drop dead" evidence we all want.

thank you verry much you have helped me a lot. but another thing that needs to be taken into consideration is laws i am not sure if it is one of the rules however no laws can be broken while performing my test. Atleast i refuse to break a law;p)
 
The
How does one even start trying to consider a protocol where the claim is to "cause wind to flow in a certain direction...on a scale regarding the world". What does this even mean?



Norm

well lets see how about causing a big hurricane to veer off direction of the target that the news says will hit making it miss a target completly i have done it before and can do it again;p)

when is hurricane season is it coming up soon?

if they do not veer off i will weaken them so there will no massive destruction;p)

AW, I am passing this post for now, as it is a response to a previous question. However, when asked to pick one specific claim to stick to for discussion, you decided on healing. Stick to one topic, and the protocol for testing it, or this thread will be moved.

...right, so healing it is. This is a problem because Randi is almost certain to veto anything involving injured or sick people.

Could you fuse a snapped chicken bone back together?
