Observing Psychokinesis in a Lab—Researchers Taking Psi Mainstream?

[wea]

"My spidey-sense is tingling therefore I am in danger" is an example of something that cannot be measured.

It could be measured (provided it exists, that is).

Ah yes, as is often the case, irrational belief is not limited to just one belief.

I recall reading the book by the fellow who became convinced of the "Gellar Effect", and decided that he would do best to test children...As "children wouldn't lie".
.

Every parent knows THAT isn't true.

"Dr. Ross Dunseath, an electrical engineer, has made advances in fine tuning novel sensors that can pick up on psychokinetic forces."

How the hell are you supposed to fine tune sensors to something you don't even know exists ?

Smells like woo to me.

Thanks for the replies so far. After reading it again I came to a question.

Is PSI not spiritual at least to some people in parapsychology circles? So how can they measure something which they claim is paranormal? Because if they can measure it then its no longer paranormal and its normal and materialistic.

Yeah. But either way, if the "paranormal" is affecting physical reality (in which case you could just consider it "normal", but let's say there are definitions of 'supernatural' that would allow for this) then you can detect it either way. The face that we haven't after thousands of years of looking should be a very strong indicator of its non-existence.

PSI is nothing more than a means to make money off the gullible to the people in the parapsychology circles. It's really that simple.

I can move atoms with my mind. I can send them to my fingers to force them to move ! Telekinesis !
