- WOULD you like to change the past? Log
on to http://www.fourmilab.ch/rpkp/ and you can, in a series of online
experiments that are providing new clues about the flow of time.
-
- The retro-psychokinesis project has evidence
that time flows backwards. Pro-ject supervisor Peter Moore, of the University
of Kent, says the chances of his retro-PK results occurring by accident
are one in 630 thousand million.
-
- At his Fourmilab site, Moore has conducted
more than 14,250 experiments with more than 1,000 subjects. His results
are so compelling, he points out, that in most areas of science his case
would have been regarded as proven long ago. But parapsychology is a difficult
topic for most scientists.
-
- To take part, you need a Web browser
that supports Java. Follow the links and a display will appear on screen
- you can choose a bell-graph, a pendulum or a clock-face. Random flows
of binary data (zeros and ones) are fed to your PC, and with mindpower
you try to influence the patterns on display.
-
- On the clock face, for instance, the
minute hand advances with every one but ticks back with every zero. Can
you stare hard enough to turn the hand clockwise? The test takes two minutes,
and a read-out at the end shows how you scored. The experiment doesn't
have to be recorded - if you want your attempt to form part of Moore's
research, all he needs is your e-mail address.
-
- If your psi abilities can push the hand
round, that's astonishing. Because the data hitting your PC had already
been generated, using a noise-based binary random generator that plugs
into the serial port of a PC. By some of the rules of science it was unchangeable.
