   Bunk. The real world is what you can measure with a volt-ohm   
   meter, and if you measure it 3 times, you get the same reading   
   each of the 3 times. So far, no body has come up with a method   
   of measuring these foo-foo effects.

   So has psychic surgery. Both are frauds. In psychic surgery,   
   the so-called surgeon has a piece of animal innards hidden on   
   his body, and he/she pulls it out which everyone is focused on   
   the chanting. The pottery fraud is the same thing. If you strip-   
   search the psychic first, they cannot do the trick. The pottery   
   is hidden on their body.

   Faster than light travel might be looked at, but there is no such   
   thing as "warp". It is a sub-space field, according to Star Trek,   
   and subspace doesn't exist in real life. Or not that we have   
   discovered yet, nor seen data or a theory that would suggest that   
   it should or could exist. All those subspace particals on Star   
   Trek are made up.

   Those "dimensions" are folded so tight as to be smaller than   
   microscopic. No human could live there, and there certainly are   
   not doorways where being move between these mathematical dimensions.

   Yes, one should ponder how so many people could be so wrong about   
   something so important in light of a total lack of evidence to   
   suggest that god is either possible or likely. Just because   
   billions of people think something doesn't mean anything. After   
   all, most people once thought the earth was flat.

   Great...when they find something, and publish it in a peer-reviewed   
   journal, then lets talk about it.   
      
   > And, yes, they are discovering "some really cool things". Really!   
      
   Yes, like Remote Viewing, which has now been fully debunked.
