Twitter's psychic experiment: Thousands of people will test their psychic powers this week on Twitter.

In the first scientific experiment to be conducted via the social messaging service, experts will investigate "remote viewing" - the psychic ability to identify distant locations.

Members of the public will be asked to "tweet" their impressions of a randomly chosen spot in the UK visited by one of the researchers.

Then they will vote for which of five photographs on a website shows where the visitor was standing.

The trial will be repeated with visually different locations four times.

This is kinda cool. I don't really care for Twitter all that much, but wouldn't it be cool if it was able to prove something like ESP?

My only fear is that, at least from how it sounds in the article and from what I understand about remote viewing, they're going at this the wrong way to try and prove psychic abilities and nothing will come from this.

I've always understood that when people are going to remote view, they go through a process to calm their mind down before they actually do their thing. It sounds like in this experiment, they're going to just show pictures and people choose. This could lead to a false positive or nothing at all--since no one prepared.

Maybe they'll give participants instructions on how to prepare before the test actually begins.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Everybody on the planet is psychic. It is latent and everyone needs to go on their own personal journy of self-discovery and training in order to unlock it.
